PC4CHANGE
Building Computers. Creating Opportunities. Powering Change.
A student-led initiative bridging the digital divide through hands-on STEM education and community service
Our Mission
We teach students how to build custom PCs and use that knowledge to serve others by donating computers to underserved communities.
Education
Empower youth with valuable technical skills through hands-on computer building workshops
Community
Bridge the digital divide by providing custom-built computers to those without access
Leadership
Create opportunities for students to lead impactful community service projects
The Problem
Digital Divide
Over 14 million students in the U.S. lack access to reliable computers, creating an ever-widening opportunity gap
Limited STEM Opportunities
Schools often lack hands-on, project-based STEM programming that engages students in real-world applications
Lack of Student Leadership
Students rarely get opportunities to lead meaningful community impact projects that develop crucial leadership skills
Our Solution – PC4CHANGE
A student-led club where youth build custom computers from scratch and donate them to families and nonprofits in need.
Hands-on STEM Learning
Students gain technical skills by building custom PCs from components, understanding hardware, software, and troubleshooting
Teamwork & Leadership
Members collaborate in teams, develop project management skills, and take ownership of the entire build-to-donation process
Community Service
Each completed PC is donated to underserved students or nonprofits, creating immediate, tangible impact in the community
Year 2 – Pilot Program @ Providence Day School

Nonprofit Partners
Local organizations helping us identify recipients who will benefit most from technology access
Our second year includes regular club meetings, specialized workshops, community build days, and donation ceremonies celebrating the impact.
Our Model: BUILD. DONATE. SCALE.
Our sustainable model creates a cycle of learning, impact, and growth. Students develop technical and leadership skills while making a real difference in their communities.
Each phase builds upon the previous, creating a continuous pipeline of education, service, and expansion that multiplies our impact over time.
