Looking for a car or computer? Students attending Montgomery County Public Schools’ (MCPS) Automotive Trades Foundation (ATF) and Information Technology Foundation (ITF) will sell refurbished cars and computers Saturday, Dec. 9. The sale takes place from 9-11 a.m. at Gaithersburg High School located at 101 Education Blvd.
Students refurbish and recondition the cars and computers as part of their classroom and lab studies with ATF and ITF. The sale gives students the chance to practice their sales skills, earn Student Service Learning hours and develop an appreciation for community involvement in technology, according to the MCPS website.
