Schools seeking computer donations in Texas

Houston

Paloma Garner writes: I am the robotics teacher at Davis High Schools. We are an urban title I school servicing a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. Although we have competed in the FIRST international robotics competition for 3 years, we were just granted a robotics class this year. As a result, our computer demands are much higher.We are currently running more than 4 separate programs (easy C and NXT) on 2 separate sets of software, all on one laptop! Students are having to wait for computer time to work on their robots, creating frustration and wasting time.

We would graciously accept any laptops that run XP or newer. Our programs have the following system requirements: PIII-450MHz+, 256MB+, 100MB Hard Disk Space. We are currently unable to upgrade or repair any machines we are offered. Please email Ms. Garner, call 713-226-4900, or fax 713-226-4999

Decatur

Hope Christian Academy is a small non-profit private school located in Decatur, TX. HCA has served students, from grades pre-K through 12th, since 2004 with a wonderful Christian education, but has so far been limited as to providing them proper training with computer technology. HCA would like to give our students the opportunity to become familiar with the technology of today.

We are in need of any computers that are current (no more than 4 to 5 years old ), anything would be much appreciated. We are seeking any computers that we can use to run basic programs . Pentium III and up would be preferable. If you can help, please email Mr. Josh Lowery or phone 940-627-7377
