Asian Penguins – St Paul middle school Linux group giving computers to kids

Posted on by

Your feel good story today comes from the Asian Penguins in St Paul. Middle school teacher Stu Keroff started a Linux user group. Kid joined. They realized that some kids in the school didn’t have computer – so they started to refurbish them and deliver them to families in the district. They even installed them and gave parents a quick lesson on how to use it.

  1. Dear Ann,
    Thank you so much for sharing this. We believe our idea is a simple but powerful one. And we believe our idea can and should be taken elsewhere.
    Thanks again,
