Reboot our Schools A non-profit dedicated to providing public schools with refurbished technology donations. Contact: Mike Trenaryke.j.trenary@gmail.com
Background for Initiative Vision Mission How we got involved
Schools versus School Districts • SFUSD 56K students & over 110 schools • Understanding technology infrastructure • Decentralization • SIG school funding based on low test scores only • Superintendent zones • Current state of tech • Lack of overall visibility
Success • Assessment and tracking system • Corporate donors & Volunteers • Partnering w/ existing organizations, and district administration • Existing free online curriculum • Managed Effort; CfA; Civic Commons • Creating labs where none exist • Engaging teachers and administrators
What the project looks like • Secure Database • API data collection and passing • User Interface for reporting & data upload • User defined permissions • Weighted algorithm creation • Geo-mapping from reporting
What we're looking for in a dev team • Motivated, dedicated individuals who see the BIG PICTURE • Creative programmers who can translate metrics and abstract envisioning into a user-friendly tool • Partners sharing a vision of equal education who are willing to work closely with our team to create a tool of long term utility to public schools
