We are grateful to ON Semiconductor for a $35,000 grant to create a mobile STEM Lab to better facilitate our mission. We are very excited about its impact on our rural digital inclusion efforts. We will be sharing more details on the vehicle in the near future. We have already discussed possible events in several rural communities this fall!
Thank you ON Semiconductor Foundation.

We are excited to announce a new partnership with the City of Mesa which will give us space to organize a novel, remote refurbishing program. With our school partners primarily doing on-line instruction. AZ StRUT lost most of our refurbishing students with the demand for devices the highest ever, we got creative. Our new space will allow volunteer configurators' to pick up equipment to
work on at home. Returned equipment will then be available for us to distribute to schools, non-profits and organizations needing affordable computers. We are grateful to the City of Mesa for this opportunity. While we develop this program, we will be relying on employee support from
Gen Tech, Intel and Boeing.
