Today I donated a wrecked laptop to the Kramden Institute.What they're doing is pretty amazing. They take old computers and laptops and repair, rebuild, or refurbish them, and then they give them away to economically disadvantaged students. They even provide ongoing tech support and repair services for the recipients.
Not only that, they bring in volunteers (12 years old and up) and teach them the various stages of support and repair, from how to install an operating system, to how to replace a hard drive, to how to disassemble and recycle old parts. They've given away something like 3800 computers so far this year, and over 18,000 since they began.
I'm kind of wishing my oldest son was a year older than he is...
