Chattanoogans soon will be able to get free help answering perhaps the most basic question about computers and the Internet: What can I do with them?

Tech Goes Home Chattanooga starts in February at six schools across Hamilton County. There will be space for 125 people, both children and adults.

The Enterprise Center is launching the pilot program to make Gig City more digitally inclusive.

“A lot of folks may not be familiar with using the Internet in their day-to-day lives,” said Kelly McCarthy, program manager for Tech Goes Home Chattanooga. “They don’t have a sense for all the things they can accomplish with it to make their life easier.”
