Students are getting a faster connection to the tech sector at a Chapel Street nonprofit, thanks to a donation from Frontier Communications.
Frontier is giving the nonprofit, DAE (formerly District Arts + Education) at 770 Chapel, free fiber internet service through the company’s “Broadband for Good” program.
DAE, which originally worked out of the District tech hub on James Street, runs afterschool STEM programs for high-schoolers and training programs for young adults from low-income backgrounds to open opportunities for tech careers.
“They are empowering students to use technology to change their community — and the world, and we want to give them the best internet to power that learning,” Frontier spokesperson Erin Kurtz was quoted staitng in a release announcing the donation.
