Lac qui Parle Computer Commuter
Watch your local newspaper for details. The Computer Commuter will have five active workstations, one of which is handicap accessible. All workstations will be connected to the internet using the local service provider in each community. Users will find a safe, non-threatening space to learn the basics, expand their technical skills with the onsite program coordinator or enjoy peer-to-peer teaching.
The Lac qui Parle Computer Commuter will travel to Bellingham, Boyd, Dawson, Madison,Marietta and Nassau on a regular schedule. This unique project will offer FREE access to computers, internet service and individualized training. In addition, the unit will be available for lease to local businesses wanting to offer onsite computer training and software upgrade training to their staff.
This project has been a collaboration of many area volunteers, city officials and businesses, along with the generosity of the TDF Foundation and the Blandin Foundation grant programs. The Computer Commuter will be on display and available for use at the 2011 Lac qui Parle County Fair.
We will be celebrating the first anniversary party on the first week of October. Watch for more details in the newspaper. Hope to see you there!
