Boosting STEM Education, Facebook Starts Christmas Early With Laptops for Schools

As part of its efforts to encourage learning in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields of education, Facebook is donating hundreds of free laptops to kids in schools around the San Francisco Bay Area. That came most recently in the form of a free laptop for every eighth grader at Everett Middle School in San Francisco, with a surprise visit from CEO Mark Zuckerberg Facebook CIO Tim Campos, who had 100 Lenovo Thinkpads in tow. (He gave 25 laptops to Mission High School students, as well.)
