AT&T, Troy Aikman and Compudopt donate hundreds of computers to Henryetta and Okmulgee students

HENRYETTA, Okla. – As part of AT&T's nationwide commitment to help bridge the digital divide, AT&T is collaborating with Compudopt and Troy Aikman to provide Henryetta and Okmulgee area students with 300 free computers, digital literacy trainings, and technical support. This donation will help ensure the students have access to the tools they need for online learning.

According to a study by Pew Research, during the onset of COVID-19, 27% of parents said their children had to complete homework on a cell phone, and 16% of students were unable to complete their work at all due to lack of a computer. These percentages were even higher in lower-income households. Donating refurbished computers can help address this critical education barrier for students in Oklahoma.

These efforts are part of the AT&T Connected Learning initiative and AT&T's $2 billion commitment from 2021 – 2023 to address the digital divide through investments in digital literacy tools, education resources, broadband technology, low-cost internet service, computers, and more.
