Capitol Tech’s annual Day of Giving event is here! Our giving campaign runs from April 2 through April 6 at midnight (ET), and we’re inviting you to celebrate the ingenuity of our Capitol students and consider making a generous donation to support our future Chargers, too.
Project Build-A-Charger
This year, to kick off our Day of Giving campaign, we asked our students to put their creativity to the test and build something truly unique out of recycled technology supplies—a win for the environment and our campus!
The Build-A-Charger competition hosted two teams of students who dug deep and thought innovatively to transform old motherboards, USB cables, power cords, and PC housing units into a representation of Capitol Tech’s “find a way or make one” spirit—our Charger mascot.
President Bradford Sims visited our students during the challenge to cheer them on, and several faculty, staff, and student supporters joined in the fun as well. Charlie the Charger stopped by to serve lunch, fueling the teams through the hours of planning and hands-on technical work they put into the design of their recycled art pieces.
By the end of Day One, our campaign received several generous donations! And two new Chargers were created!
Visit our Facebook page for additional photos and a timelapse video, and follow our social media for updates on this event where you can vote for your favorite Build-A-Charger display!
