BUILD COMPUTERS

FREE GEEK can teach you how to build computers. If you agree to complete six computers, we will teach you the process. You can keep the sixth computer you complete (FreekBox spec) for your own personal use.

Building FREEK BOXes.

As you learn more in the build program, you'll have the opportunity to become more involved in assisting with or even teaching the workshops or some of the introductory material. These are some of our most valuable volunteers!

To sign up for the Build program, please come to one of our daily tours. They are offered at noon and six pm, Tuesday through Saturday. You'll learn more about all of our programs and then we'll ask about you. We don't require any prior knowledge; in this interview we can advise you on where to start at FREE GEEK in order to learn what you need to know to start out in the workshops. There is a sequence of educational tasks most build students go through wherein you'll learn about the insides of computers, preparatory to actually putting them together.

Build workshops run 5 days a week, nearly all the time we're open. You must sign up in advance for each class you wish to attend.
