Over the next 5 months, we're conducting another round of laptop distribution and training through our partnership with the Clarke County School District. We cleaned up the project site at the Old West Broad School earlier this month, and now we're ready to refurbish the first batch of laptops. All interested volunteers, please meet at the school on Saturday January 23rd at 11:00 AM. This is a task that doesn't require prior experience with computer hardware or Ubuntu and is a great way to earn volunteer hours! A pizza lunch and drinks will be provided.
If you're interested in helping to develop and teach the trainings that we'll start conducting beginning in in February, please join the trainer's email list.
Directions to the school at 125 Minor St Turn onto Minor from Broad and park along Minor. Walk to the back of the school where Minor and Dearing intersect. We will enter from the back of the school where there is a stairway and loading ramp. |
