An Idaho-based computer memory upgrade provider is donating more than 200 memory modules to help keep Alberta students plugged in.
Crucial Technology, a division of Micron, is making the $6,300 donation through the non-profit Alberta Computers for Schools program. The donation mirrors a similar gift made to Idaho students.
“We are pleased Crucial may play a role in improving the technological resources for schools in Alberta,” said Mike Bokan, general manager at Crucial Technology in Meridian, Idaho.
“Upgrading memory is the best way to maximize performance and life of existing hardware, allowing teachers and students to efficiently use educational applications and the Internet.”
Since 1997, Crucial has donated more than $302,000 Cdn in computer memory upgrades to Idaho schools through its Education is Crucial program. The company extended the program to Alberta this year following an agreement between Idaho and Alberta to strengthen the relationship between the two governments.
Computers for Schools (CFS) is a national program that provides free used computers to schools and public libraries.
