The
Pioneer Project

The
Pioneer Project addresses technological inequity in Chicago communities that
stems from the digital divide. CrossRealms, Inc. has created an initiative
called Pioneer, to be integrated into Chicago libraries, schools, and local
organizations focusing on integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) to their current programs. 

The
project centers on creating an open-learning environment for youth of any age
