Computer Bridge 2019

According to the EPA, Americans throw away 52 million computers while 28 million Americans do not own a computer. Thus, a large proportion of our community is not able to access the digital age and its many educational and professional opportunities. To help address this disparity, our YouthCon scholarship, Ethan Nguyen, a Senior from George C. Marshall High School, and our 2019 YouthCon Scholarship winner, is working on a project that bridges the gap between donors and underserved communities.

Goal

Reduce electronic waste by teaching users how to repair computers
Allow high school students to refurbish and distribute donated computers from individuals, local governments, and companies to communities

How

Donate:

Computers
Flat screen monitors
USB drives
Keyboards
Mice
All donations are tax deductible

Results

So far, Ethan has 7 computers, but he needs your help to reach 20 computers. He also gave out a few repurposed laptops to newly immigrant families in the DMV area.
