In 1983 when I began teaching mentally challenged violent teens I knew the EDU community was struggling and it hasn't gotten any better.

To answer that challenge we threw rock concerts to try to raise money for school programs, started labs for single parents and kids behind bars who would need job skills when they got out or face a viscious cycle of imprisonment.

We expanded those labs to children as young as 5 and seniors as old as 87 (the record for a KCK student, but we'll beat it). Now we are bringing the labs to your neighborhood, your back streets, your schools, your foster homes and daycare centers and we are taking them overseas.

Support our sponsors, such as www.craigsworld.org, www.runawaytechs.com, www.isopdesigns.com and our student run hosting partner at www.BigDriveHosting.Com and others listed throughout this website. Through their websites and donated revenue, computer parts and lab space, we can finally take these labs overseas as well.

If you have ever wanted to TEACH in the U.S. or Overseas, here is your chance.

We look forward to showing you how to run a KCK Free PC's for Kids lab and the revenue from your adventure can be as much as $1000.00-$2000.00 per week; more than enough to offset renting a nice place to host the labs and paying a few of your bills as well.

Please consider how you want to spend the next few months of your life. Help a kid, help yourself, help our program and we all win.

Course Material and Equipment:
  1. You will need an area about 2-3 feet deep (for a 2 foot bench), by 4 to 8 feet long. You can start in a broom closet with shelves, but will need to eventually build a longer bench area. A simple painted plywood sheet with good 2x4 bracing will work.

    Our favorite KCK benches are a multicolor and thickly painted (remember, we said these labs were supposed to be wild and fun!), plywood sheet ripped into 2 - 2x8 sheets, inserted into a 2x4 frame with 18 inch legs. These are very inexpensive (under $25.00) and can be stacked and secured to a wall to provide multi-level equipment storage underneath. Chairs are optional since most folks stand (sometimes run) in KCK labs.


    From the Founder of Kid's Computer Kamp and the
    Free PC's for Kids Labs...

    In addition to making software, computers and networks in banking, aerospace and hospitals my life's work I developed Kids Computer Kamp Free PC's for Kids labs for the back streets where I grew up using tips I learned from teachers, juvenile authorities and child and adult psychologists. I owned several computer stores and always threw these labs to gauge new techs coming to our bench and teach local kids computer skills and get rid of our extra parts!

    But you can throw up a classroom anywhere and they are welcomed everywhere and are a blast!

    These labs are more than fun! They are addicting, engaging, a riot, sometimes frustrating, often elating and always memorable. This isn't a class about sitting at home alone and poking around in a computer. This is about friendships, massive community involvment at the grass-roots level and making sure every kid has the skills required to get a great job for the rest of his life. GIRL'S WELCOME TOO! If she can use a screwdriver, she's probably headed for the top of the class: most girls run, ummm, 'neater' benches.

    I look forward to helping you in any way I can while you enjoy this course. If you are running a free KCK lab for kids, you are invited to my dinner table anytime: knock anytime.

    or just send your comments and suggestions directly to me and I do read every single one.

    Thank you,
