| One
of the most frequent questions we get is, "How can I participate
in Black Family Technology Awareness Week?" The
quick answer is that only your imagination and resources limit
you. Almost any activity that promotes technology is appropriate.
To get you started, here are just a few ideas.
Contact your local library and have them host a day of research
to find grants available to increase technology labs and education
in your community. Many non-profit organizations are eligible
to apply for national and or local grants to fund educational
projects.
