I’ve decided to embark on this project as it closely relates to my interests in mobile phones. I’ve always wanted to work with phones, but I’ve never really had the chance to do so, so this does mean that I will be able to form a group with some grade 10s or grade nines and begin working through the backlog of mobile phones that we had in storage. For now, I think we just have to evaluate what phones work and which don’t, as there are several which are in good shape but there are also some which have missing back plates, missing batteries, or broken screens.

I’ll probably divide up the phones by broken, working, or locked (as it can’t be accessed, but still works). Locked phones could probably not be donated but they can be used for spare parts hopefully, it all depends if the model is popular or not. I hope that this experience will be meaningful for me as it will give me the technical background to work with Android, iOS, and other feature phones which we deal with all the time.
