Transforming Futures: E Ink and MediaTek Empower Youth Reading
E Ink and MediaTek's Generous Donation to Young Readers
BILLERICA, Mass. — E Ink (8069.TW) has partnered with MediaTek to make a significant impact on the lives of children within local communities. Recently, they donated a total of 58 Amazon Kindle Kids eReaders to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Louisiana, as part of E Ink's innovative eRead for the Future initiative. These eReaders are specifically designed to provide a comfortable, paper-like reading experience using E Ink's advanced ePaper technology and are powered by MediaTek’s cutting-edge chipsets.
Empowering Young Minds through Technology
Brandon Smith, the Clubs Director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Louisiana, expressed enthusiasm about this generous contribution, noting, “The donation from E Ink and MediaTek will have a meaningful impact on the children. Access to books and educational tools is crucial for our Club kids’ development, and these Kindle devices provide new opportunities for their learning.” This donation is especially timely as the Clubs prepare for their summer reading program aimed at preventing summer reading loss.
The Significance of E Ink's Technology
The eReaders donated are equipped with E Ink’s unique ePaper screens paired with ComfortGaze front light, which studies have shown to be significantly healthier for children's eyes compared to conventional LCD screens. According to research from the Harvard School of Public Health, E Ink's ePaper screens can reduce blue light exposure, a common concern for parents today.
Jerry Yu, Corporate Senior Vice President at MediaTek, echoed the sentiment of the importance of this collaboration, mentioning, “These Kindles are valuable tools that ensure our youth have access to more important resources to empower deeper learning.” The technology behind the eReaders emphasizes low power consumption and sustainability, aligning with the mission of providing educational resources without compromising health.
Expanded Opportunities with Amazon Kids+
The donation includes a 6-month subscription to Amazon Kids+, granting young readers unlimited access to thousands of children's books. This feature not only supports the immediate reading skills of children but also nurtures a love for reading that can last a lifetime. A portion of the donation is earmarked for a permanent book collection, ensuring long-term benefits for the youth in these clubs.
Continuing Commitment to Community and Education
E Ink and MediaTek's commitment extends beyond this donation. In the previous year, E Ink engaged over 22 partners in a similar social good initiative, aimed at fostering literacy and enhancing reading abilities among students. They have donated over 1,024 color eReaders, benefiting more than 15,000 students across multiple schools. This initiative has positively impacted the environment as well, saving significant amounts of carbon through digital reading, thus promoting sustainability. The collective efforts reflect a broader goal to empower students and inspire a love for reading, while being environmentally conscious.
