We require students to use a school issued laptop case. We will supply each student with an “always-on” laptop case that is specifically designed to fit the macbook. It is mandatory that this case stay on the laptop at all times. The laptop cases are custom-designed for SAS students by the XSProject Foundation based in Jakarta, Indonesia. XSProject makes creative use of items usually discarded, and is a nonprofit foundation with which SAS has been involved since 2004. These laptop cases are made from cushioned fabric that was originally used to cover new car seats for shipping. The vinyl material comes from advertising banners and it provides a durable and unique covering material. Funds from the sales of XSProject support the education of children of the trash-pickers involved in the collection of waste materials. Further information about the XSProject can be found here.
