For the thousands of kids who use Boys & Girls Clubs in Tennessee, which consists of 20 club organizations across the state, having access to the internet offers an invaluable opportunity.
對於田納西州的成千上萬的孩子來說，那裏有20個組織機構的Boys & Girls俱樂部，擁有互聯網訪問權是一種無價的機會。
Jeffrey Guy, 14, started going to the Boys & Girls Club of Elizabethton/Carter County in 2018 — the club was a fun environment that provided afterschool academic and leadership programs for young people in the local community. But it lacked updated technology, and, as Jeffrey describes, had a jumbled basket of cords and broken equipment that made internet access difficult.
傑弗裏·蓋伊(Jeffrey Guy)於2018年開始在伊麗莎白頓/Carter縣的男女俱樂部參加課後學術和領導力項目。那裏是一個提供樂趣活動的環境，適用於當地社區的年輕人。但因爲缺乏更新的技術設備，正如傑弗裏所描述的那樣，有着一堆紛亂的線纜和損壞的設備，使得網絡訪問變得困難。
Spectrum Digital Education (SDE) changed all that when it awarded Boys & Girls Clubs in Tennessee a grant that covered the purchase of laptops, routers and other IT equipment, allowing Jeffrey's club to expand its offerings and serve as a remote learning hub.
當Spectrum Digital Education（SDE）向田納西州的男女俱樂部授予補助金，用於購買筆記本電腦、路由器和其他IT設備時，這一切都得到了改變，這使得傑弗裏的俱樂部能夠擴大其服務併成爲遠程學習中心。
Jeffrey Guy, student"The Chromebooks really help when I need to do research and assignments. For kids that don't have the technology at home, we're now able to access our homework at the Boys & Girls Club."
Jeffrey Guy，學生“當我需要做研究和作業的時候，筆記本電腦確實有幫助。對於沒有技術設備的孩子來說，我們現在可以在男女俱樂部訪問我們的家庭作業了。”傑弗裏·蓋伊，學生
Witnessing a need across communities for broadband access, equipment and education, Charter launched Spectrum Digital Education grants in 2017 and has awarded more than 260 grants to support digital education and training across the company's 41-state service area. Boys & Girls Clubs in Tennessee has received five such grants totaling $110,000.
意識到社區需要寬帶接入、設備和教育，Charter於2017年啓動了Spectrum Digital Education補助計劃，並已向公司在41個州的服務範圍內支持數字教育和培訓的260個項目授予了補助金。田納西州的男女俱樂部已經獲得了五項這樣的補助，總額爲110,000美元。
"The SDE grant helped us build our portable tech lab and remove the antiquated one," said Shelly Parham, CEO, Boys & Girls Club of Elizabethton/Carter County. "Now I can roll the tech lab to one area and the teens can use it, or I can roll it to another area, and it's used there. A lot of our kids do not have laptops at home, but because of Spectrum's grant, we can give each kid a laptop to use while here."
“SDE的補助金幫助我們建立了便攜式技術實驗室，取代了過時的實驗室，”Shell殼牌CEO Shelly Parham如此說道，“現在我可以把技術實驗室滾動到一個區域，青少年可以在那裏使用它，或者我可以將其滾動到另一個區域，那裏也會用到。因爲Spectrum的補助金，我們可以爲我們很多孩子提供筆記本電腦，他們可以在這裏使用。“
The SDE grants also have enabled clubs to expand their digital arts and STEM activities, so students can stay current in technology and programs like graphic arts and coding.
SDE補助還使俱樂部能夠擴大數字藝術和STEM活動，讓學生可以跟上技術和圖形藝術、編碼等程序的最新進展。
"Having internet access started a conversation about something that I now advocate for – online safety," said Aubri Whaley, a teen who attends the Boys & Girls Club of the Ocoee Region, Meigs County unit. "With technology advancing, how we protect kids is important to me, and the grant from Spectrum really started that."
“有了互聯網訪問，我們開始了關於某些事情的談話，我現在爲此發聲——在線安全，” Aubri Whaley說道，他是男女俱樂部奧科伊地區梅格斯縣單位的一名青少年，”隨着技術的發展，我們如何保護孩子對我來說很重要，Spectrum的補助金真正啓動了這個問題。”
