Pi515 students have been invited to participate in the 2022 Kids Tech Summit, an event hosted by Connected Nation, a nonprofit working to expand broadband internet access. The high school students will base their project for the summit on topics like digital literacy training, computer repair or internet access. “Pi515 is excited for this opportunity to continue to work together to create awareness around digital inclusion and ultimately close the digital gap,” Nancy Mwirotsi, Pi515 founder and executive director, said in a release. Pi515 students who will participate in the summit also completed the 2021 SMART Cities Challenge, which asked them to come up with a solution for an urban challenge in Iowa. Finalists of the summit will be announced Feb. 28 and four students will receive awards in April.
