Computer Security Day - Nov. 30

11/29/2018

 
Picture

5 easy tips to stay secure:

1. Change your passwords (and try not to make them all the same thing again!)
2. Do a virus sweep/scan, get rid of cookies, and delete all unnecessary and unknown files.
3. Review (and update) your workplace computer security policies
4. Back up your computer's data onto a hard drive
5. Use sound judgement! Keeping your data safe is usually not too difficult when you are being careful.

Although you should practice these more often, at least make the effort once a year. Got any other good ideas for computer security, let us know!

Monthly Update - October 2018

11/5/2018

 

This month we distributed 375 computers and laptops!

These computers & laptops went to...​

  • 29 schools​ like Burnaby Central Secondary School, Kitsilano Secondary School, and Terry Fox Elementary in Abbotsford. These schools use computers and laptops for various things ranging from simply increasing their computer-to-student ratios so that every student has access to a computer during class to effectively learn, upgrading their current computers to keep up with the growing advances in computing, or even helping specific students.​ 
  • 20 nonprofits like Black Boys Code, an organization dedicated to introducing young boys of colour in their critical development years (ages 8 to 17) to computer science through one-day and two-day workshops, Hackathons, after school and summer programs; Handy Circle Resource Society, which provides and promotes public awareness of the needs of the disabled. Peer counselling, Information and referral services for special needs in the Prince George Area; and Childrens' Arts Umbrella, whose mission is a better world where all young lives are inspired to pursue a lifelong journey towards self-expression, compassion, and humanity.​
  • 5 computers went to low-income students. who now have access to a desktop computers in their homes and that will allow them to do their homework communicate with friends and family, look for jobs, learn new skills, etc. 

Thank you donors! ​💗

We couldn't run the Computers for Schools program without your continued support.
