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.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, Michael Chen decided to give back to the community by creating over 500 3D printed mask buckles. Earlier this year, Michael was recognized for his hard work with the National Honoree 2021 Prudential Spirit of Community Award. Each recipient was able to choose a non-profit to receive a $5,000 grant as part of the award and Michael selected Kramden Institute.
This week, Michael stopped by with his family to tour the new space and provide the Kramden staff with their own personal mask buckles. A huge thank you to this great family of supporters!
You can learn more about Michael's project here:
