On 7/22/23, it was my first visit to Tech Exchange. In partnership with Richmond Promise, I was their student, and I had issues with my laptop. You come inside, check in and then provide your device to them. Mine had a fan malfunction, so it was getting out of hand. They took it in less than 3 minutes. Yes, in less than 3 minutes, they gave me a replacement. Very fast service, Kemish and a female worker there were so friendly and will do anything for you! I’m proud to be a Richmond Promise student! Will come again! EDIT: I come to realize that despite Tech Exchange’s hard work in giving back to the community and ensuring everyone from low-income, marginalized communities have access to reliable technology that helps them thrive. Of course, this is evident in their work, but something must be accommodated for students who graduated from a Bay Area high school and is pursing a technical degree outside of the Bay Area. I am originally from here, but if they can provide opportunities like the 4-week computer literacy classes remotely, it can really support students like myself in enhancing our portfolios for such fields. Aside from this, the Tech Exchange team and everyone a part of it are a blessing to everyone in the Bay Area, I would love to work with them someday!
