Addressing Digital Poverty: A City Divided

During the festival we will have mapped the Bath Digital Divide and run a tech community challenge to hack a solution to an aspect of the problem we see.

This final event of the festival week in our Digital Divide series will bring together a discussion with Wera Hobhouse, the Liberal Democrat MP for Bath and Julia Adamson, BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT MD for Education and Public Benefit and with a mission to give every young person the digital skills they need to succeed in life and work.

This session will present what we know, the map of the digital divide in Bath with a call to action for city-wide focus to address the issue.

Following the discussion, we will showcase the outputs from our hackathon, looking to address the immediate problem of connectivity advice for families lacking affordable and reliable internet access.
