Camp BYOC (Build Your Own Computer) was founded by Robin Walker, President/CEO of CDM Technologies, a computer sales and service business that focuses on delivering a full range of support and product offerings that cater to both consumers and small business enterprises. The first camp was held in August 2014 and had nine students ranging in age from 11-14. Students built their own computer while learning the science of how hardware and software interact and integrate to produce one of society's most important tools. Since then, Camp BYOC has invested and trained approximately 50 students to build and maintain their own computers. Each year we have improved the program to add younger students and grow the skills and experience of returning students. We are now a 501(c)3 nonprofit and have four camps designed for different age groups, skill levels and maturity. Our short term goal is to support 60+ students; in the future we would like to expand beyond Cincinnati and Indianapolis to other major cities/communities.
