Get Connected Dallas 2024 Recap
“Get Connected Dallas" celebrated the breadth of community support by connecting guests to devices, internet access, digital services, skills training, and more. This cross-generational event addressed barriers to digital access that impact education, job training, connections to benefits and services, healthcare, and other aspects of modern life.
The event was a free, fun-filled celebration of digital inclusion, technology, and community. Attendees enjoyed live music from DJ 13lackbeard, the official DJ of the Dallas Cowboys, and our MC Space Boi Fresh. They explored our robot petting zoo, featuring robots from Trilogy, Robot Lab, and Best of Texas, and participated in interactive workshops on digital skills, games, rides, and much more.
The day was packed with engaging activities like a beat-making workshop hosted by Let The Beat Build and the Digital Art Competition Voting, where attendees voted on their favorite piece. We also encouraged guests to visit the For Oak Cliff Farmers Market and join in the raffle for exciting prizes!
Let’s continue to get empowered by staying connected!
Thank you to those who attended GCD 2024!
