Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Inc., has joined TechForEducators.com’s board of advisors, according to a May 6 press release.
TechForEducators.com sells hardware, software, electronic learning aids, microscopes and other teaching materials. Through a partnership with the Kids In Need Foundation, for every $1 a customer spends on a product, $1.25 worth of free school supplies is given to impoverished students.
“Woz inspired a generation of technologists - including myself,” said Matt Spergel, President of TechForEducators.com. “The Apple II was an engineering tour de force and an amazing learning tool. We are deeply honored to have Steve contributing his infectious optimism and creativity to our company.”
As a philanthropist, Wozniak has donated both time and equipment to the Los Gatos School District. Education being one of his top priorities, he has led after-school classes on computers and technology for teachers and fifth to eight graders.
“TechForEducators.com represents the best in trying to do good things for our students and teachers,” Steve Wozniak said. “I’m looking forward to the great things they have planned for education.”
