<div dir="ltr">I am pretty certain I can get space and bandwidth, for #3, mainly intended towards outreach . Not certain about the pc's or workstations funding. Would the other group put effort into the outreach in exchange for a better facility?<br>

<div dir="ltr">"No electronics are working" doesn't sound very promising. Unless you have someone who can dedicate time to taking out bits and pieces and trying to cobble together some working machines, I'd say you're probably better off letting them go as scrap.<div>

Definitely a laudible aim, but beware that it will make bigger demands on the forum in terms of space, power, number of desktops/laptops, and time spent administering the lab. For this type of activity, perhaps it would be better to partner with an existing college or university who already has a lab?</div>
