A technology driven non-profit with the purpose of ‘re-purposing’ electronics for a ‘second life’ after their primary use is over. Outfits all over America have need for new tablets each fiscal year and old devices often never have a purpose other than being recycled.
Repop’d is a website and non-profit dedicated to giving devices a second purpose. Whether it’s an android device repurposed to monitor a grow-house, or a tablet repurposed into a baby monitor. The mobile afterlife works to find a use for that tablet through the magic of creative people with creative ideas. Repop’d works to put gadgets into the hands of people with ideas. From collecting a dozen tablets from companies and turning them into a cool musical event with lights and color and posting it to instagram / youtube to putting a dozen tablets into the hands of under privileged kids doing school remotely in Latin America.
Our Mission is to make technology sweet by giving devices new purposes, so that manufacturers continue to innovate!
