11 Laptops Stolen from CoderDojoTC

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — On July 31, we discovered 11 laptops missing:

  • 10 Apple Macbook Pro, 15", 2009–2011
  • 1 Apple Macbook Air, 13"

We need your help to either find or replace these laptops. Some of our code groups require more memory and CPU than our older laptops have. These laptops were used at every single event in the past year or more. Every two weeks, they helped a student learn to code.
