Magikmyth gets a major project [26th September 2003]

Magikmyth Design & Technical Services has been given a project from Maree Farring Elem. School, in Baltimore City. The reconstruction of 60 older computer systems.

Michael Simmons of Magikmyth Design & Technical Services has volunteered man hours to Maree Farring Elem. school (PS203). Michael Simmons has volunteered at Maree Farring for now the second school year. For the first year was to help Ms. Gray a second grade teacher.

Now for the second school year (2003-2004), Ms Gray asked Mr. Simmons to return to her class, in which he did. However, now Mr. Simmons has gotten more involved. Mr. Simmons created a grade book so the teachers of the school can automate the grading process a little. Now he has been charge with reconstructing old broken down computers. The computers being worked on have small harddrives, low memory, in most case just don't work. The idea is to take the 60 computers swapout parts and do minor upgrades.

After the project is completed there should be about 45-50 working computers with about 32 meg ram. These computers will be used for learning basic word processing and internet research.

Maree Farring is trying to have as many computers in the school to make sure all children get computer time. The school currently has over 500 students, and currently has about 100 newer computers.

The principal, Mr.Thomas Stroschein says,"That we are going to have a computer for every child".

Michael Simmons is a supporter of parent involvement, and suggest that othe parents get involved in their schools. Magikmyth Design & Technical Services also ask that if any companies can donate computers or parts to help with this project, it will greatly be appreciated, by Michael Simmons, Thomas Stroschein the principal, Christopher Gress the assistant pricipal, and the Children.

We would like to thank the staff of Maree Farring for the opportunity to let us help.
