Where Do Our Student Come From – Everywhere!

We have just completed plotting the location of each student who participated in one or more of our class programs over the past 12 months, these classes include BikeWorks’ Earn-A-Bike, BookWorks’ Create-A-Book, and ByteWorks’ Earn-A-Computer.

These classes are available at no cost at the BWorks home location at 2414 Menard in Soulard as well as a number of off-site remote locations indicated by the orange flags.

Each student is indicated by a pin and the off-site remote locations for our programs by a flag – the data is between February of 2015 and February of 2016.

We also appreciate all those of you who have supported BWorks and our kids programs through your donations and time.

Thanks – BWorks Staff, Volunteers and Students.

LANFest – Laclede’s LAN 16 – March 12 & 13 at St. Louis University – to Benefit St. Louis ByteWorks

For gamers, a LAN party is a great way to connect with local folks with shared interests. For gamers in the Midwest, Laclede’s LAN 16, is THE opportunity to enjoy a weekend of connecting with fellow gamers, all for charity. This event will be held onMarch 12 and 13, 2016 at St. Louis University. Laclede’s LAN will generously donate proceeds from ticket sales to St. Louis Byte Works and additional proceeds to fellow St. Louis nonprofit, Angel Baked Cookies.

A part of the LANFest mission is to provide benefit and support to nonprofit organizations. We’d like to take a moment to discuss the organization that will receive most of the benefit from the ticket sales of the Laclede’s LAN 16 event. One organization that our staff has chosen is St. Louis ByteWorks.

Through the Earn-a-Computer program, St. Louis ByteWorks helps local kids learn the skills to successfully operate a computer, gain experience with various types of software, learn some networking skills, and learn how to safely search the Internet and send and receive E-mail. These skills are designed to extend their knowledge of the computer and its uses as well as build confidence.
