Its principal personal benefit is a Backpack Full of Joy containing a laptop or iPad and comfort or activity items; some children also receive home internet. It places telepresence robots in schools and shared computers in medical facilities. The current Apply page accepts requests for a free laptop or iPad; separate public intake routes for internet and robots are not published.
