Tai is a tech genius who created our triage app on a usb that our volunteers use to check the various components of a computer.?Our volunteers can then use the triage app to install?a Linux operating system and our package of educational resources on the computer hard drives.?This enables teachers and students to have access to high quality educational materials whether or not they have access to the internet. Tai has been with us since the early 2000’s, when WCE began. He initially wanted to find a place to donate his old computer equipment but quickly jumped in when he saw an opportunity to put forth his skills and knowledge. He has been with us ever since, and we are so grateful!? Tai is looking for someone with the knowledge and background who can help him make the software even better!!
