Sixteen residents of Decatur were empowered through Power Up PC – a hands-on workshop that was the result of a partnership between DEF, Decatur Makers, and the Decatur Housing Authority. Participants worked with local makers to disassemble and rebuild donated computers, and each left with a newly refurbished machine.
Fourth grader Asha Yussef is proud to be building her own computer.
