Our Mission

PCF supports learning in public schools by supplying internet-ready computers to classrooms and publicly accessible locations. We also help outfit school libraries with books, provide computers to low-income families that do not have them, and teach 3D printing classes.

Who We Are

PCF helps address these issue and close the digital divide for tomorrow's leaders attending low-income area public schools. Our formula is simple: when local companies upgrade their still-very-usable computers, our volunteers collect, clean and re-furbish them for classrooms that need them. Once installed, these units become essential tools for teachers to assist all students but especially those that are behind. - Teachers tell us they love having our computers permanently installed in their classrooms where they are utilized constantly, particularly for accessing the successful educational websites made available by the school district: First-in-Math, Lexia (reading/writing), SumDog, ABCya, Class DoJo, Kahn Academy, etc. - They are fast and have low viruses or malware risk, since we use Linux - As a school district partner, PCF is allowed to work with schools directly and our units are all put on the district's network and behind their firewall. Feedback from our classrooms has been overwhelmingly positive, as detailed on our website, PhillyKids.org
