Who: Geeks on Ice / McKenzie College
"The gap between organizations with regular access to digital and information technology, and those without this access is growing larger in our community. The digital divide encompasses both physical access to technology hardware and, more broadly, skills and resources which allow for its use. For years, Geeks on Ice has invested over $15,000.00 in hardware upgrades for United Way of Greater Moncton and Southeastern NB member agencies in order to overcome this gap while providing ICT professionals an organic way to network through sport.
The Geeks on Ice presentation at the upcoming Cybersocial will focus on the group's plan to build a volunteer group of ICT professionals called Geek Warriors who are willing to assist in the fight to eliminate the digital divide for member agencies by developing their skills and resources to leverage the use of the annual Geeks on Ice hardware investment. On hand will be Trevor MacAusland (Founder of Geeks on Ice) and Micha Fardy (United Way of Greater Moncton and Southeastern NB)."
