    I saw your presentation during the live event. Thank you for taking the time to do that and covering the importance of tech skills. I would like to see a bit more on how class, race, gender and geographic region can have an effect on how access to technology and tech training.

      Justin, we easily could have made the entire project about factors that influence access to resources. However, we decided that it was better to focus on researching actionable resources to the community for this project. There are significant problems in this country to do with technology education based on all the factors you mention. Within the Seattle/Tacoma area, there is a major problem of access to resources based on what school district you attend, as well as race and economic standing.

        I am a novice at the computer and your presentation was made for someone like me. I could easily understand your presentation and this summer want to try out LinkedIn Learning. Good job.
