Design shapes our world, yet our industry doesn’t reflect our society. Vital Hardware is a non-profit with a mission to empower talented young individuals from underprivileged backgrounds, by providing them with essential hardware and software tools.
Pentawards is supporting this initiative through donation and by encouraging our global network and community to get involved and help them reach even further in their efforts.
It’s time to make creative careers accessible to all, one laptop at a time.
