Loyola senior Keegan Nicholson turns PC parts and pieces into valuable tools for students – "Laptops for Students"

To a lot of us, that old laptop gathering dust in the closet is little more than the debris of our technology lives.

But to one Loyola Sacred Heart High School senior that aged tech tool is a treasure that can change someone else’s life.

Deep in the server room at Loyola Sacred Heart High School, surrounded by a few relics of the past, Keegan Nicholson is making the future brighter for someone.

This is the headquarters of the "Laptops for Students" http://www.laptopsforstudents.gardencitydjs.com/ program, an effort to revive, recycle and rework the forgotten tech toys of years gone by into valuable tools.
