Empowering tomorrow’s digital innovators
Keen to join us in overcoming the digital divide? 🏗️🤝
We’re on the look out for money 💰, laptops 💻 and leaders 🙋.
Welcome to RAD, the Aotearoa initiative where technology meets community, sustainability, and education in order to close the digital divide. We're matchmakers for laptops and dreams, turning unwanted laptops into real-life superheroes for those who need them.
At the heart of the process are tomorrow's digital innovators (aka rangatahi | young people), who learn and experience the science of tech engineering, the art of refurbishing laptops, and the charity of community gifting, in order to boldly span the gulf of the digital divide and lay the foundations for a brighter and more inclusive digital future.
Together with community groups, we work to ensure that quality devices find their way into the hands of eager and aspiring rangatahi. Please come along, and join us on this momentous journey!
Three reasons why RAD is rad:
"The RAD programme is one of our most popular subjects ever...students don't want to miss out on a single class!"
-Dan Howard, Huntly College
