Computer Recycling


Computer Recycling


DESCRIPTION

The computer recycling group started in 2012 as part of research on the inadequate use of technology and the analysis of reusable components to create computers from donations. Several recycled computers have been donated to rural schools in the province of Azuay. 
With the adequate reuse of computers, along with the optimal use of free software, we have sought to satisfy the needs of equipment and computer maintenance in schools and rural and / or marginal sectors of the province of Azuay.
 
In all this time, more students have gotten involved in the group and has had a positive effect in the proper use of technology. Currently, the coordinator is student Marcela Catalina Zhagüi
