I found this on Gowanus Lounge. Beautiful Smile’s daughter works at a afterschool program at the Gowanus Houses Community Center. So I am super interested in this request for computers that may be sitting around your house. Hey Hepcat: don’t we have a lot of comptuers hanging around – in the hallway – I keep stubbing my toe on them? Can we give them away?
Have a computer sitting around that you’ve outgrown? We came across an
email from a local resident who is putting together a computer training
course for the Gowanus Houses Community Center
"to teach kids in public housing the fundamentals of computers using
free and open source software." The resident, Kevin Hardiman, says he
is "looking to the community for computer donations – full computer
systems desired, but incomplete system will be evaluated – to drive the
program." He is seeking people or businesses willing to donate old
unused machines or that would be intesting in helping, and can be
reached at kevin (at) opensourcebrooklyn (dot) com.
The program is being developed in conjunction with the Gowanus Houses
Community Center, and has the support of the Gowanus Tenant Association..
