Thanks to generous donations from Brad Lichtenstein, an alum of MIT, and Gari Clifford, a professor at MIT, BeeHive School has two more computers! Gari got the laptop with the help of the Laboratory for Computational Physiology at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology who has kindly supported MIT’s involvement with BeeHive School. The laptops have already reached BeeHive School in the care of Justin Cannon, an MIT student who is working on a project to bring “Internet” to BeeHive School – you can read more about their project here. The students at BeeHive School are enjoying using the educational games on all the laptops we have donated, but currently there are only six computers shared among 187 students. This means that students get a little less than half an hour of computer time a week. If you have a functional laptop you would like to donate, please contact info AT beehiveschool DOT com – a donation would make a big difference.

A big thank you to Brad Lichtenstein (left) and Gari Clifford (right) for donating the laptops. (Photos of the laptops in the school to come!)
