A proposal to establish a computer lab in this school was put forward by Kids on Computers® volunteers who live in the area. The board of directors approved the proposal in early 2016 and the lab was established that year.
Volunteers from the United States traveled to Mexico in June 2016 and brought a lot of the lab’s computer equipment with them. This is the first Kids on Computers® school lab to consist completely of Raspberry Pi3 workstations.
