Bridging the Digital Divide

  • 2023: A Year In Review

    2023 has proved to be a transformative year for us at Drexel TechServ. Our inventory of computers and computer equipment is at an all-time high, our general body meeting turnouts are thriving, and we have implemented a new digital inventory tracking system. Most importantly, we have had the pleasure of being able to donate a substantial number of computers to Philadelphia schools and non-profits. This year, Drexel TechServ has not only bridged the digital divide in the Philadelphia community but has ventured abroad. We donated a total of 33 laptops and 10 desktops to Africa to help promote digital literacy in Tanzania and Liberia, with the plan of donating more in 2024. In summary, Drexel TechServ has donated:

    • 82 Laptops
    • 18 Desktops
    • 32 Monitors
    • 22 Keyboards
    • 26 Mice
    • 2 Projectors
    • 2 iPads

    A grand total of 184 major pieces of equipment. This includes 100 computers!

    We have had the pleasure of donating this equipment to the following and many others:

    • Ronald McDonald House
    • Philadelphia Martha Washington Academy Plus
    • SmallThingsPhilly
    • University of Delaware
    • Drexel ExCite Center
    • TEDI Tanzania
    • TCRC Community Healing Center
    • Liberia

    Donation to a computer lab at Martha
    Washington Academy in June.

    We are incredibly grateful to Nestle Aimmune, Agilent Technologies, Drexel University, Quartile, BAC Distributing, and many others for donating their equipment to Drexel TechServ this year to help bridge the digital divide! We look forward to an exciting year of donations in both Philadelphia and abroad in 2024!

    Sadly, Winter break is drawing to a close, but we at TechServ are looking forward to seeing everyone again! This quarter, we’ll be meeting from 7:00-9:00 PM on Mondays and Thursdays. Based on responses to the poll I sent out earlier, these are the times which work for most people. Meetings will start tomorrow, Monday, January 4th, 2016.

    Our New Years resolutions this year are to better serve the community, to get more donations out to community centers, and to continue to be a welcoming and fun group of people with the common goal of helping others.

    Here’s to an exciting new year,
