Focuses on creating a practical and scalable plan for repurposing older computers using Linux operating systems to reduce electronic waste and improve access to low-cost technology. Students analyze business, user, and technical requirements while emphasizing usability for non-technical users through thoughtful training, onboarding, and support resources. The work includes researching appropriate Linux solutions, evaluating environmental and economic impact, and designing a pilot rollout that could realistically be implemented by a campus or community partner. The final deliverables translate technical and sustainability concepts into clear, professional documentation and recommendations that address real community needs through responsible technology deployment.
