Dr. Vint Cerf - the man who co-invented the Internet and Google's Chief Evangelist - joined a discussion with other Internet and connectivity experts to discuss ideas and strategies for what we can do now and in the coming years to connect the unconnected and close the digital divide. With initial local surveys reporting more than 44,000 students so far in New Mexico are unable to connect to the Internet now that schools are closed and coursework is moving online due to this COVID crisis, the issue of equity in access is more critical than ever for families and schools here in New Mexico. Dr. Cerf was be joined by: Samantha Schartman-Cycyk, Marconi Society; David A. Bray, Atlantic Council; Lin Wells, People Centered Internet; and Bill Callahan, National Digital Inclusion Alliance. This STEM Ecosystem initiative was supported and promoted locally by the Community Learning Network, New Mexico TechWorks, the Internet Society New Mexico Chapter, the Santa Fe Tech Task Force, and the STEAM Coalition of Northern New Mexico.
