Free Computer Rescue Team

(Baonghean) - With the aim of supporting students in repairing and maintaining computers, effectively serving their studies and research, the "Computer Rescue Team", Faculty of Information Technology, Vinh University was established and became a trusted address for students... Thereby, helping team members accumulate more knowledge, learn experience and necessary skills to become more mature...

Normally, on the first and last Sunday of every month, the "Computer Rescue" Team of the Faculty of Information Technology, Vinh University organizes a volunteer computer repair day. To disseminate information about the team's activities, from the beginning of the month, the activity schedule has been updated on the Facebook of the team members and the school and faculty's fanpage. Thanks to that, on average, each session, this activity attracts hundreds of students to consult and repair computers. The team members enthusiastically advise and support students on how to use and maintain, as well as free repair of basic problems such as: installing the operating system, recovering data, scanning for viruses... At the same time, support the cost of replacing computer components and spare parts when necessary.

The computer rescue volunteer team of the Faculty of Information Technology, Vinh University organizes computer repairs 1-2 times a month at the school.

Volunteer computer rescue activities are really practical for students, because they not only help them have learning tools but also save a significant amount of money. Nguyen Thi Hoang Mai - 3rd year student, Faculty of English Pedagogy, said: "My computer often has software errors, sometimes data loss, which greatly affects my studies. But luckily, every time my computer has an error or is damaged, I receive enthusiastic help, advice, and repairs from my friends in the computer rescue team. Thanks to their help, we save money on computer repair and maintenance." Nguyen Van Hung - Student of the Faculty of Construction said that his major often requires the use of computers as a support tool, so the rescue team becomes his "savior" in situations where the computer is faulty and needs immediate repair. He often contacts his friends for advice or repairs when necessary.

Regularly organizing activities 1-2 times a month, each volunteer day, the "Computer Rescue" team has supported and repaired about 80-90 computers for students. Being attached to the "Computer Rescue" team since the first days of its establishment, Nguyen Thanh Nhan - Student of class 54, Faculty of Information Technology shared: "Studying information technology, having expertise in this field, we really want to share our knowledge and understanding to help other students. I know that there are many students in the countryside with difficult circumstances, so free computer repair not only helps them have tools to study more effectively but also reduces the burden of study costs. For us, it is both a joy and a way to accumulate more knowledge, learn experience and necessary skills to become more mature".

The upcoming direction of the "Computer Rescue" team is to recruit more members who are both voluntary and have professional knowledge to improve the effectiveness of volunteer activities. The team will also expand its activities at the second campus of Vinh University in the near future. Sharing about the effectiveness of the Computer Rescue Team's activities, teacher Tran Cao Thang - Student Manager of the Faculty of Information Technology said: Through the team's activities, students are more aware of self-exploration and creativity to improve their professional knowledge. These are also effective practice sessions that help students accumulate knowledge and skills very effectively. In addition, this volunteer activity also helps students realize their practical contributions to the community, thereby encouraging and spreading the spirit of volunteering among young people. There are some members who have grown up from the team's volunteer activities and after graduating and going to work, they are still very enthusiastic in participating, or supporting funding, human resources, components... to help the team operate. Volunteer activities focusing on expertise and training fields like this need to be expanded to both promote the professional strengths of volunteers and meet the essential needs of the community."
