James recently hosted a computer-building workshop for teens at Pro Deo Youth Center, creating an exciting opportunity to explore technology hands-on. Over four engaging sessions, James guided the teens through the process of assembling a computer from scratch, teaching them about the components and how they work together.

The highlight of the program was building two fully functional computers, which will remain at the center for the teens to use. The participants not only developed valuable technical skills but also had a fantastic time exploring the world of technology in a supportive and interactive environment.

We’re incredibly grateful to James for generously sharing his time and expertise. His class was an outstanding success, sparking curiosity and confidence in the teens while leaving a lasting impact at Pro Deo Youth Center.
