Even more of our Student U parents celebrated their achievements last week when they officially earned their Kramden Institute’s tech class certifications! Big Ups for completing the five+ weeks of hands-on learning experience where they honed key computer skills and navigated the PowerSchool system while doing the work to stay engaged in their students’ education. Thanks again to the Kramden Institute for this amazing opportunity for our families. #EmpoweringStudents #BuildingLeaders #ChangingCommunities
关于我们
Kramden Institute: Providing Technology Tools and Training to Bridge the Digital Divide. Kramden was founded in 2003 with the goal of getting personal, home computers to deserving students in grades 3-12 in need of one. Since then, thousands of volunteers have helped refurbish and give over 30,000 donated computers to students across 84 of the state’s 100 counties. We cultivate both private and public organizations to donate their used computer equipment to Kramden which we then refurbish and award through our various hardware programs. Currently, we provide approximately 4,000 computers annually to students, adults and other nonprofits in need. In 2013, Kramden revamped its strategy to begin offering digital literacy and tech education programs to members of our communities in order to complement our computer hardware programs. We came to the realization that owning a computer without being able to effectively use one was not actually closing the digital divide. In the time since, thousands of adults and students have gone through our various STEAM programs, learning everything from the basics of operating a computer to programming and designing their own video games. We currently offer digital literacy training across numerous public housing sites in North Carolina ranging from Charlotte, the Triangle, Fayetteville, Wilson and more.

With the help of numerous volunteers, donors, long-time partner AT&T, and new partner Builders FirstSource, Kramden was able to deliver 223 devices to Western NC last week! These devices (150 laptops and 73 cell phones with 90 days of AT&T service) were split between Land of Sky Regional government in Asheville and High Country Council of Government in Boone. Thanks to these amazing on-the-ground partners, many of the devices have already been distributed to individuals and non-profit organizations in the most impacted areas of the state. #givetech #gettech #digitalequity #kramden

Last week, two of our staff members joined IBM to celebrate their Month of Impact, 2024. We spoke with IBM employees about Kramden’s mission and volunteering opportunities to help us achieve our goals. At the end of the month, IBM will join us for a Geek-a-Thon to prepare devices for low-income households in North Carolina. Thank you for having us at your celebration! We’re looking forward to seeing more IBM volunteers at Kramden! #givetech #volunteer #digitalinclusion
