It is part of a greater gift from the Foundation to create and expand Cox Innovation Labs across the nation, develop STEM programming and provide training for Boys & Girls Club staff.
“It’s important for today’s kids to have a place to access the internet and increase their digital literacy,” said Mitchell. “It’s my hope that more young students find joy and passion in reading and learning like I did, through access to technology and the tools Cox provides.”
According to Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada President and CEO Andy Bischel, the Cox Innovation Labs are the cornerstone of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Club Tech program, which provides students access to curriculum to help advance computer literacy skills and help bridge the digital divide for children without access to a computer or internet connection at home.
“We’re committed to ensuring our children have internet access and the tools needed to succeed at school, home and now, thanks to the generosity of the James M. Cox Foundation, right here at the Agassi Club, which is an important part of our West Las Vegas community,” said Cox Market Vice President Janet Uthman.
