Somerset Economic Development Corporation was excited to provide a Build IT session for 10 homeschool families today at the Somerset Connect Center in Bingham.

Thanks to our partnership with give IT. get IT., students were able to learn about the components which make a computer function, assemble an actual desktop computer, load and configure the Linux operating system, and then take this working computer home as their own.

Today’s Build IT was a joy and success for all!

SEDC has provided already this great STEM opportunity to Valley, Carrabec, and Forest Hills schools since 2025. We’re excited to offer it to homeschool families as well.

If you would like to learn more about this great opportunity for Somerset County students, please contact Liz Caruso, Somerset County Broadband Director at 207-399-9992 or [email protected].
