Project CAN will increase the number of resources available to the lending program to better serve students in need and address the gap between rural and urban education by expanding access to reliable broadband and classroom technologies. It will provide flexible strategies that facilitate and expand effective rural community access to quality education, particularly in STEM fields and develop training and technical support to maximize the use of new and emerging technology, train faculty and students, and to ensure continuous service and troubleshooting of equipment. With community partners, the project will create a Family Resource Center, Financial Empowerment Center / Creative Development Space, and Education Resource Center and Museum Archive.
