 The Figgers Foundation, in partnership with the Housing Authority of Pompano Beach, proudly presented the Tech Innovation Program — an inspiring hands-on learning initiative aimed at empowering students with essential digital literacy skills and real-world exposure to artificial intelligence.

Held at a community center classroom, the event welcomed a group of enthusiastic young learners eager to explore the possibilities of AI technology. Students were guided through interactive sessions focused on AI prompting — learning how to write commands, understand digital tools, and think critically about how technology is shaping our world.

As part of the initiative, each student received a brand-new tablet, helping bridge the digital divide and providing access to resources that support continued learning beyond the classroom. The energy in the room was contagious, with students fully engaged, asking questions, and gaining confidence in their digital abilities.

“Our goal is to make sure every child, no matter their background, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed,” said a representative from The Figgers Foundation. “Technology should be an open door — not a barrier.”

By putting powerful tools into the hands of students and fostering a safe, encouraging learning environment, the Tech Innovation Program represents a step forward in digital equity. More than just a tech workshop, it was a moment of inspiration — proof that when young minds are given access and opportunity, they rise to meet it.

The Figgers Foundation remains committed to creating lasting impact through innovation, education, and community partnerships.
