“I believe the children are our future—teach them well and let them lead the way.” Project PC brings that vision to life by combining teamwork, technology, and compassion in an unforgettable CSR experience. As education rapidly evolves, access to computers has become just as essential as books, and your team has the power to bridge the digital divide.
Through BridgeTheApp™, our proprietary game platform used on Apple® iPads®, participants will complete a series of fun, engaging photo, video, and trivia challenges to earn the components required to build fully functioning personal computers. With easy-to-follow “plug and play” instructions, anyone can become a PC technician—no prior experience required.
The best part? Every completed computer is donated to a child or school that might otherwise go without. Whether you’re unlocking the curiosity of a future coder or giving the next Bill Gates their first device, Project PC makes a real difference, one build at a time.
