Welcome to SPHS Riot Reburb. Riot Refurb is a program that connects Computer Science students to the community by helping students repair, clean, and assess prior equipment used in the district. Students are helping to prevent e-waste, providing for their community, and learning valuable professional skills throughout the process. The program helps the students gain experience and the community gain access.
Funds from this program help support the Computer Science program and opportunities at South Portland School Department. This is a completely voluntarily run program by students and staff. It is not run during vacation, all communication will be done via email, and the program is not open during non-school hours.
