Minnesota Tech for Success | 504 Malcolm Avenue SE, Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN
MTFS believes that digital inclusion and environmental sustainability go hand in hand. We recycle and repair donated computers to refurbish them for schools and educationally focused community organizations to impact the full life cycle of technology. Our programs provide technology access, engaging STEM programming, and IT workforce training in underserved communities. Attendees will visit our warehouse where we refurbish computer technology.

Parking is located right in front of our building. Wear comfortable shoes as the reception will be inside our warehouse which has a cement floor.

Recovery Bike | 2504 Central Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN
Organized chaos. See behind the curtain at the Twin Cities' premier used bicycle shop where we manufacture, service, and sell a thousand bicycles a year. Check out the refurbishment process of a “re-cycled” bike, get tips about basic bike maintenance, and learn how bicycles activate public spaces and increase community engagement while reducing our reliance on cars. (Come check out our green roof too!)

Free parking available in the St. Clement’s parking lot across the street from the shop and in the neighborhood (on Jackson behind the shop etc.) or better yet ride your bike (convenient bike racks in front of the shop). Please note that Lowry is closed from Washington to Central. Closed toe shoes recommended if you want to visit the green roof.
