Baltimore City and Microsoft are partnering to offer digital literacy courses

The City of Baltimore has formed a digital alliance with Microsoft to bring a collection of programs for residents of Baltimore looking to learn the fundamentals of coding and robotics, as well as basic digital literacy. Online courses and resources will be offered through the Baltimore City Office of Information and Technology (BCIT). The programming includes an event called Digicamp, where students are introduced to IT careers and virtual technology workshops in STEM fields. Employees of the recreation and parks department, Baltimore City Health Department, and Housing Authority of Baltimore City will also be trained by Microsoft to provide digital literacy training to seniors and public housing residents.
