Last class, we worked on cleaning and sorting the laptops donated by our school. Every year, when the seniors graduate, they have the option to donate their computers, or take them home, and the class of 2017 was very generous! Mrs. Murakami is hoping that we can install some software on the computers, and donate them to less fortunate people. However before we do that, we have to take all the stickers off, and make sure they are properly working. We also learned about open source software, which means code that is free to use and modify. One interesting thing we learned is that Firefox is open source, and anyone can change the algorithm they use, in order to give the whole world better search results. I am very excited to be involved in this awesome project, I have a passion for service work and STEM, and pairing them together is fun so far but can only get better!
