Changing the Course

Through the Rocket Classic’s signature Changing the Course initiative, we’re helping connect the Detroit community to the digital devices, high-speed internet and digital training that is essential for success in life.

Partners include:

  • Connect 313 is a citywide, data-driven digital inclusion strategy that brings countless organizations together with the bold goal to make Detroit a national model for digital inclusion and ensure all Detroiters can access the digital world and the opportunity it brings. Connect 313 was founded at the 2020 Rocket Classic.

  • Human-I-T aims to create equitable access to opportunity by providing devices, internet access, digital skills training, and tech support for communities left on the wrong side of the digital divide—while at the same time, empowering businesses and organizations to do good by diverting technology from landfills to protect our planet.

  • Black Tech Saturdays aims to drive economic growth, close the racial wealth gap and diversify the tech industry by empowering Black tech communities nationwide. BTS offers a wide range of tech-focused meetups, trainings, workshops and other community events.
