With a new licensing system implemented this year, Carmel Connects Club plans to continue improving and modifying its repurposing process so that it will handle every computer that they bring in, according to Margaret Winans, Carmel Connects Club sponsor.

 To promote net literacy, Carmel Connects Club repairs and reimages Carmel Clay Schools’ previously used computers and donates them to people and groups in need.

This new licensing system is slowing down their work speed, driving them to devise a more efficient process in order to accomplish their goal of repairing 18 computers for donation. However, with the large turnout of new members, Levi Kiser, Carmel Connects Club president and senior, said he believes they can top last year’s production rate.

“I plan to supervise and crack the whip,” Winans said. “I try to get them to think about how to be more productive. We want more productivity.”
