Cfork is a program to help underserved youth learn technology skills and and earn a computer. It is modeled after the regular build program, but youth come in as groups with a youth organisation. They go through all the pre-build steps as a group, and finish at the same time. Some kids might build more than the required boxen, but we try to keep it a group activity. They get to build their own computer in the end.
All build classes are taught by volunteer teachers, with a 1 teacher for 2 kids ratio, so the kids get individualized
attention. In some instances we teach pre-build steps off site at the place of the youth organisation or school, since limited access to transportation is hindering groups participation.
