Recently we used the laptops and peripherals to compete in a practice Hackathon called a Skills Dash. Students were able to adeptly navigate the required challenges and I was impressed to see how powerful the laptops that you provided truly are.\r\n\r\nThank you also for coming to our school on December 11 and bringing the News 12 team. The students and I were so excited to meet you in person, to talk to you about how impactful these materials are and to get a chance to be on the local news!
