The winners were overjoyed; those who received printers loved that they could finally print assignments at home, and the students who won tablets were excited to use them for note-taking in college courses.\r\n\r\nOne of the most memorable moments was when a student won the laptop. She was brought to tears knowing she finally had her own device, one with more features than the school-issued Chromebook she had relied on for years. Her parents would not have been able to purchase a new laptop, and she had expected to make do with a refurbished one.
