literacy and critical skills development for young people through
the use of unique technology solutions. Dell Software was named

Developer category. This distinction recognizes Dell’s
award-winning Social Hub app, a free tool available on the

Year for their partnership across the entire U.S. Windows
business (hardware, software and services) and, for the second
