Wanted: Computer Mice for At-risk Teen Programs in NYC

Posted on September 10, 2010 by

Do you have an extra computer mouse you aren't using? My nonprofit Global Kids could use any working USB, two-button mice for our digital media programs with at-risk teens.

Starting in a couple of weeks, I'm running a science, culture and technology project in Brooklyn, and realize that our laptops don't have computer mice. For the kind of work they are doing — virtual world exploring, game playing and creating — having a two-button mouse would be very helpful.  And beyond that particular project, having them for our other teen programs (which work all over New York in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx) would be awesome.

If you would like to donate a mouse/mice, they can be brought or sent to our HQ at Global Kids, 137 East 25th Street, 2nd Floor, New York NY 10010. And we'll take any other (working) computer equipment you wish to donate too! We are particularly in need of a new digital projector, since ours is on its last legs.

Funny story: I tweeted out yesterday that I was looking for "donated mice for our teen programs" and EVERY SINGLE PERSON who responded assumed I wanted actual mice.  I guess they thought I was going to have kids dissecting mice? Ewww.
