Formed in 1997 by founding sponsors Intel & Motorola, Arizona StRUT is a partnership between local schools and businesses, where students learn new skills by refurbishing used computer equipment. The equipment is then donated to schools and other qualified non-profit organizations throughout Arizona. Over 100 companies such as Intel, Avnet, APS and Emerson currently donate hardware through the program.

AZ StRUT provides opportunities for youth in high schools and community colleges to learn hands-on how to refurbish used computers. AZ StRUT also donates computers to Arizona schools and non-profit organizations.
