Changing the world, one computer at a time.

Who Are We?

The Power Up Project is a charitable organization of founded by high school students in 2018. Our mission is to increase computer accessibility and decrease electronic waste. We have over 15 members and donate nearly 100 computers annually.

With the generous contributions of our donors, members, and sponsors, we strive to improve the lives of those in need and better our community.

What Do We Do?

1. Collect old or unused computers from local community members and businesses.
2. Fix any issues, upgrade the storage and RAM, and install a fresh operating system (Linux Mint or Windows 11).
3. Donate the computers to organizations and individuals in need across Chicagoland.
