Join us as we celebrate Digital Inclusion Week with a lineup of exciting events hosted by the Digital Literacy Learning Space at Central Piedmont.
Digital Inclusion Week is an annual week of awareness, recognition, and celebration. With support from the National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA), organizations and individuals across the country host special events and campaigns to promote and increase digital equity in their communities.
The following events will take place virtually and on Central Campus.
Students will play online matches all week to compete for a prize. Friday, we will announce the winner, who will receive a framed 'Queen's Gambit" poster.
Industry cybersecurity coaches will walk students through three different cyberattack scenarios. There will be three breakout rooms with video streaming. An afternoon panel discussion will review all three scenario solutions and create a best practices list.
– breakout session: 9:00 a.m. – noon | Parr Center huddle rooms G, H, and I
– food truck: noon – 1:00 p.m. | outside the Parr Center
– panel discussion: 1 – 2:00 p.m. | Parr Center, Room 1000
Queens University will host the Center for Digital Equity (CDE) at Central Piedmont to provide personal laptop repair services for students, faculty, staff, and the community. Drop off your laptop for repair at Parr Center huddle room A,B, or C.
The laptops will be serviced by industry professionals who often lend their services volunteering their time to refurbish laptops for their fellow residents, are CDE partners, and part of the local digital equity ecosystem.
This day focuses on exposure to different AI tools and methods. We will have three huddle rooms with coaches to guide students on the basic use of text, graphic, and Bot AI technologies. The event will take place in Parr Center huddle rooms G, H, and I.
