The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to support STEM education and youth technology initiatives through a recent donation of 10 refurbished laptops to Folie Technique in Montreal, Quebec.
Folie Technique is a long-standing non-profit organization affiliated with Polytechnique Montréal that focuses on introducing young people to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through interactive educational programs, scientific workshops, robotics activities, and summer camps. Founded in 1991, the organization reaches thousands of youth each year across Quebec through hands-on learning experiences and science outreach initiatives.
Through this technology donation, ERA is helping support educational programming that encourages youth to explore science, engineering, innovation, and technology in an engaging and accessible way.

Access to technology continues to play an important role in education, digital learning, creativity, and future career development. By refurbishing and donating retired electronics, ERA helps extend the life cycle of technology while supporting organizations that create meaningful impact within their communities.
The donated laptops will help support Folie Technique’s educational initiatives, workshops, and STEM-related activities designed for children and youth throughout the Montreal area.
Folie Technique offers a variety of science and engineering programs for youth, including:
- STEM workshops and educational activities
- Robotics and engineering programs

Building Sustainable Community Partnerships
ERA continues to work with schools, charities, non-profits, and community organizations across Canada to help bridge the digital divide while reducing electronic waste through responsible reuse and recycling programs.
Partnerships like this demonstrate how refurbished technology can continue creating positive impact long after its original use cycle.
ERA would like to sincerely thank Folie Technique for the incredible work their organization continues to do in supporting youth education, scientific curiosity, and STEM engagement within the community.
