Mary Queen of Peace Primary School, based in Glenravel, outside Ballymena, is using a £10,000 grant from Awards for All Northern Ireland to buy 20 tablets/laptops.
The equipment will be loaned to people within their rurally isolated area, such as older people so they can attend virtual clubs, and families of pre-school children who can use the equipment to meet their new teachers.
The project will help them stay connected to the community and reduce isolation.
