Community Tech Drive
Community Tech Drive
With the increased need for students to have access to computers at home to be successful, many schools need to address accessibility issues regarding online learning opportunities. Ontario Tech University is running a tech drive to provide support to low-income students in the Durham Region.
In an effort to address these issues, a group of students in Ontario Tech University’s Faculty of Business and Information Technology (FBIT) are working with the local community to collect second-hand laptops, tablets, and phones.
How can you help?
● Donations of second-hand laptops, tablets, and phones. would be greatly appreciated.
● Cash donations will be put toward the purchase of laptops, tablets, and phones.
● If you are not able to support the drive financially at this time, you can still support this cause by sharing this drive with your community members through social media, by sharing the posts which can be found on Instagram stories, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.
