Request Details
We are in need of training materials to help teach our community K-12 the benefits of cyber security, as well as the skills to repair laptops and desktops. We would like to purchase repair kits, parts and hardware for students to break down, repair and bring back to functionality desktop and laptop computers for the community. We are a population of over 33% Hispanic decent, as well as 20% of the population lives at or below the poverty line. Our students are finding a way out of the cycle of low income through hands on experience in cyber security and computer repair. Our students are generally not able to access the internet at home, nor do they have computers.
$1,000.00 USD
We would like to eliminate the barrier of cost for our students in obtaining their cyber security certifications. These certifications will allow our students to attain accreditation in the field of cyber security and computer repair, allowing them to enter the world of high paying jobs without obtaining student loans. This would also allow a highly underrepresented group to excel in the STEM field. We would like to provide the funds to equip 15 students with certifications.
$1,500.00 USD
Total amount $2,500.00 USD
