FREE GEEK ~ Build Computers Program
Community Technology Center
1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland 503-232-9350 http://www.freegeek.org/build.php
FREE GEEK can teach you how to build computers. If you agree to complete six computers, they will teach you the process. You can keep the sixth computer you complete for your own personal use.
As you learn more in the build program, you'll
have the opportunity to become more involved in assisting with or even
teaching the workshops or some of the introductory material.
To sign up for the Build program, please attend
one of their daily tours. They are offered at noon and six pm, Tuesday
through Saturday. You'll learn more about all of their programs and then
they'll ask about you. They don't require any prior knowledge; in this
interview they can advise you on where to start at FREE GEEK in order to
learn what you need to know to start out in the workshops. There is a
sequence of educational tasks most build students go through wherein
you'll learn about the insides of computers, preparatory to actually
putting them together.
The Build Program is great for people of all
ages. If a person is under 16 years of age, he or she must be accompanied
by an adult while volunteering.
Build workshops run 5 days a week, nearly all
the time they're open. You must sign up in advance for each class you wish
to attend.
