Topic: Safe and Secure Technology Disposal
“Help! I don’t know what to do with my old computer. I’m scared of exposing my data. Is it true I’m supposed to smash the hard drive with a hammer?”
Put your hammer away! Great news! Yvette Herrera from Computers 2 Kids will explain how you can keep your data safe AND help a student improve their grades.
Learn how to safely and securely donate used computers and other devices for community and environmental impact.
