Keegan Nicholson, founder of ReLaptops http://relaptops.org/ , has joined forces with the America Campaign http://www.americacampaign.org/ – the company behind Big Sky Code Academy http://www.bigskycodeacademy.org/ and Montana Code Girls http://www.mtcodegirls.org/ – to grow the program into Laptops for Students.

"We started talking about how there was a lot of synergy in offering middle- and high-school students the opportunity to learn more about both the software and hardware side of technology," said America Campaign founder Devin Holmes. "We agreed to bring ReLaptops on board as part of our youth initiatives."

What started out as a school project launched three years ago by a tech-savvy student in Missoula grew into a larger community effort to place refurbished laptops in the hands of those in need of a computer.

While that may be old news, there’s a new rub: The project has morphed again, this time in the hands of a local nonprofit positioned to take the program to the next level.
