Arizona Gives Day Making Dreams Come True

​

We All Have Dreams .... This is Ours!

​

We all have dreams, things we hope to do, and places we want to see, to name a few. One of the dreams for We Care Tucson is to further the impact of one of the pillars of our mission, removing the barrier to education. We currently have a low-cost computer referral program to help those socioeconomically challenged and who can't get a laptop or desktop and provide low-cost computers for sale to the general public. There is a push to focus on STEM-oriented learning. Federal investment in diversifying STEM education and opportunity focuses on the college level and higher with less funding dedicated to K-12 education. However, a study by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, suggests that participating in STEM summer programs makes underrepresented communities more likely to graduate from High School, attend four-year colleges, and earn STEM degrees.

So, what does this do with We Care Tucson and our dreams?

Simple, we are launching a one-week Tech Camp designed for middle school students to learn about computer technology, from the components that comprise desktop and laptop computers and the differences, how to rebuild/repair a desktop computer, and the functionality of the operating system; they will learn about e-recycling and finally learn about jobs in the technology field. All of this is done through fun hands-on activities led by experienced professionals in the field of technology. At the completion of the camp program, each student will be given a refurbished laptop. The camp will be offered to students in low-income areas and the program will be free. 

​

Help us make the dream a reality on Arizona Gives Day.  Your Generous donation can help us reach our goal.
