Cal State University, or California State University, is giving away iPad Air, Apple Pencils, and Smart Keyboards to 35,000 students that would register to the CSUCCESS program across all campuses. Anyone is eligible to participate, and the only requirement is that they are new or transferring students to the university, as part of the pandemic aid relief of the institution.
The biggest takeaway of COVID-19 is that schooling and work can be done through the online platform, and not only a select number of people can undergo that setting. The only hindrance for some is the lack of a stable internet connection, as well as insufficient equipment to use.
