Celebrating 12 Years of BYOC — And Building What Comes Next
This July, Build Your Own Computer (BYOC) turned 12 years old. It feels like just yesterday Jasmine and I were teaching our first group of nine kids how to build computers in the back of my tech company, Tech Tailor Made. What began as a summer experiment has grown into a powerful movement.
In just 12 years, we've empowered over 1,200 children, giving them the skills and confidence to pursue careers in tech and become the next generation of innovators. In 2025 alone, we equipped over 115 young minds with critical problem-solving and coding skills. And we're not slowing down. Our move to a new, larger facility is complete, giving us the space to expand our programs this fall and winter. We're ready to inspire more students than ever before—but we can't do it alone.
Your continued support has made every milestone possible. It’s what allowed us to grow from nine students to a thousand, and it’s what will allow us to double our impact in the years to come.
Please consider making a donation today to help us equip the next 1,000 innovators.
A gift of $100 - $1000 supports the purchase of hardware for the "build camp" or other classes during the summer.
A gift over $1000 will provide a scholarship for one youth or will support our Youth Tech Summit or other fundraiser.
Your generosity is what builds futures, one computer—and one child—at a time.
Thank you for being part of the BYOC journey.
With gratitude,
Robin Walker
Founder, BYOC
