ISU computer science students volunteer to scrub laptops for Ƶ students in need

April 23, 2020

POCATELLO – Three Ƶ computer science students volunteered for United Way of Southeast Ƶ and Ƶ Business for Education to help scrub donated computers to distribute to Ƶ students in need of a device.

Makayla Harris, Hunter Harris and Shay Dodge all volunteered their time to help scrub donated computers. “Scrubbing” is a term used to describe clearing a device of all redundant and unnecessary data. Though the process is long, it substantially improves computer capabilities for student learning.

Due to COVID-19, students of all ages are participating in distance learning. Though many students have devices, there are more than 10,000 students in Ƶ who need computers to continue learning from home.

Computer donations are still being accepted. For more information on where to donate a device, visit .
