La Trobe University

Easy as Pi! Using La Trobe e-waste to support learning opportunities for school students

La Trobe University ICT Department donated 40 sets of computer peripherals (monitors, keyboards and mice) to help Whittlesea Council roll out a project to build computers and teach programming skills in their local community. The program is an example of how a small contribution can be hugely rewarding and lead to other great things!
