Summary
A 51-passenger bus converted into the United Learning Lab will debut Wednesday in Central Florida, bringing computers, workspaces and internet access directly into underserved communities.
High-speed internet on the bus can connect up to 500 devices at once, a setup the nonprofit says is meant to close technology gaps and remove transportation barriers.
Osceola High School's open house is the first stop, where the lab will help students and parents with orientation ahead of the back-to-school season.
Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties are the initial service area as Heart of Florida United Way positions the lab as a flexible resource for communities lacking easy access to services.
