Welcome to the Kramden blog. Come here to keep up with what’s going on at Kramden each week: computer awards, volunteer opportunities, our Geek of the Week spotlight, and other news and articles about what we’re doing to bridge the digital divide in North Carolina. You can also get updates delivered right to your inbox by signing up for our weekly Volunteer NewsBytes.
Last week, students from the Maureen Joy Charter School wrapped up another round of Tech Trailblazers by putting their new hardware knowledge to the test and disassembling computers for recycling. At the end of class, each student took home a computer they personally refurbished during the program.
Approximately 90 local students completed the free #STEM program in 2019 thanks to funding from Protolabs, Best Buy, and the Duke Community Care Fund. A great big thank you to our supporters for another successful year of Tech Trailblazers!

Think the flight controller needs to be rubber mounted. It's moving around quite a bit :)
