Uptech Project
Bridging the digital divide by providing graduating high school seniors with upcycled laptops for college.
Distributing laptops to students in the Knoxville, TN area.
Obtaining laptops
We accept laptop donations from anyone who has laptops that are no longer in use. This includes community members as well as local businesses with retired laptops.
Finding students in need
We work directly with school counselors and other school officials to identify students in need and distribute upcycled laptops to students who most need them.
Refurbishing process
We wipe all laptops securely according to the DoD 5220.22M standard, using nwipe and ShredOS. Then, we perform some minor touch-ups before installing a fresh operating system.
