Project Description
The Computer Technologies for Schools Project provides surplus Commonwealth
Government and private sector computers and ICT equipment to schools across
Australia to enable students and teachers to better understand new
technologies. State and Territory government and non - government school
authority committees decide the placement of equipment according to needs
based formulas. The Project is managed by a National Project Manager.
Contributors make computers and other ICT equipment available through the
National Project Manager who arranges for the equipment to be collected and
stored until a receiving authority is able to take them.

Eligibility
Catholic, Independent and State/Territory schools across Australia."

Project Description
Green PC is about refurbishing and recycling some of the 200,000 PC's that
are no longer useful to government and the private sector each year and
providing them to individuals and communities that otherwise will be left
behind in the information age. To do this Green PC work in partnership with
organisations so the solution is inexpensive and simple. It is
environmentally responsible, it has the potential to create hundreds of jobs
and skill those who would otherwise be left unemployed, and it bridges the
divide that exists between the information rich and information poor.

Green PC is part of "Infoxchange", Australia's strategy to bridge the
digital divide. This strategy has a number of community building elements
including, empowerment through access to the new technologies, providing
sustainable employment and educational opportunities for the longterm
unemployed while also addressing environmental issues through recycling of
discarded computer hardware.

Eligibility
Green PC's computers are made available to low-income communities, community
organisations and individuals with eligibility based on: holding a current
Health Care Card or ability to verify low income status or being a
registered not-for-profit community organisation."

Since they apparently refurbish, perhaps an excursion wouldn't be out of the
question.
