Beginning the framework for 2023-2024 (our first official year as a 501c (3)), the last 51 days were nothing short of eventful. The following projects were launched:
AccessEdTech by UNI ​, our technology and educational technology supply project that delivers educational technologies (in contrast to tutoring in person) through donations, e-waste refurbishments, and fundraisers. This project has already accumulated 10,000 dollars worth of technology through generous donations from Line SK and eBay stores: Ocean Tech, Fife-Tech, SBK Recycling, and a 1,000-dollar sponsorship from OPEN BANK. We have also received a donation, scheduled to deliver 14 desktop computers which will arrive in September from Line SK. Once these donations and sponsorships are accounted for, donations will be made to housing facilities through the help of the Anderson Munger YMCA.

The Burbank Bloomers Gardening Project has been on temporary hold until the start of the school year due to school facilities (to establish a garden) have been closed up until this point. Now with our group running again, we will establish contact with Big Green to recieve grants and knowledge regarding running a garden. We will also contact the city of Burbank for more land space to establish our garden.

Environmental Outreach Program:
Starting with our first cleanup and research meeting at Santa Monica Pier, we have begun compiling data on cleanliness levels of widely used city parks and facilities. With this information, we will further narrow down the areas of our city that actually require cleaning (not state supported) to establish a more efficient framework for ourselves and our oncoming members.

Administrative Outreach: With a small team of just two members well versed in wesbite building, domain management, and CS, we have began rebuilding World Harvest Food Bank's wesbite along with managing their domain. Our group has also started to make videos to provide a more consistent stream of information to the admin we are working with. Regarding current developments, we have weeded out a list of websites with the wrong working hours for the food bank and started recovering all the employees' lost email passwords which has vastly disrupted the bank's workflow.
