An initiative to teach young people how to build their very own computer from scratch has been a huge success!<\/p>\n

Youth worker Gus Te Moni’s idea to offer a PC building workshop to young people became a reality thanks to the generosity of this programmes main sponsor (CloudIT) and some wonderful members of the community who have donated old computer parts.<\/p>\n

Computers and parts were donated to the youth centre by the public and assessed, cleaned and restored by Mark and our friends at CloudIT, and then sorted in to ‘kit sets’ for the youth to build. We are extremely grateful for the support of Cloud IT with this initiative.<\/p>\n

As well as develop transferable employability skills such as teamwork, learning skills, communication and confidence etc, young people built their very own computer from parts to learn;<\/p>\n
