Future Shop Gifts Twenty High Schools With Tech Lab Grants

Future Shop [1]Future Shop [1] has announced a record-number of 20 high schools across Canada will be updating their outdated technology thanks to over $500,000 in donations from the company’s Future Generation Tech Lab program [2]. More than 160 schools from coast-to-coast submitted applications for funding in three categories: $10,000; $25,000; and $50,000.

Winning schools were selected based on the impact new technology would have on improving program offerings and engaging students. Each school will use the funds in a different way to provide students with the tools necessary to excel in their programs and reduce the digital divide within Canadian high schools.

“Access to working technology is a critical element to students’ learning and development, but not all schools are able to keep their equipment current. We heard this loud and clear in all the applications we received whether it was for a simple ask to replace 10 year old computers or bring in new technology allowing schools to take programs to the next level,” said Andrea Farnell, Community Relations Manager, Future Shop. ” Future Shop is excited to see how these schools will use their grants to inspire, motivate and empower students to do more, learn more and achieve more in the classroom.”

The following 20 high schools were selected to receive between $10,000 and $50,000 each through the Future Generation Tech Lab program.
