CHILL Tech participants took their skills to the next level in an incredible hands-on workshop led by the expert Brandon Taylor, with the assistance of Michael Johnson Jr., an electrical engineering student at Arizona State University. Michael, who has built custom gaming computers, added a wealth of knowledge to the session. Divided into two dynamic sessions, participants delved into the art of hardware repair. From replacing hard drives to upgrading 18GB RAM and optimizing systems to the latest Windows level, each step was a leap forward in their tech journey. For those who expressed interest, they explored the gaming world by installing specialized gaming software, combining creativity with technical expertise.
Equipped with laptops, static mats, repair tool kits, sleek CHILL Tech backpacks, and their well-earned stipend checks, participants walked away not only with the tools of the trade but also with the confidence to tackle future challenges in the tech arena. This session wasn’t just about repairing hardware—it was about building futures, one upgrade at a time!
