Living Right: Kids Off the Block

It’s been a bad year in Chicago when it comes to violence, and that big spike is centered in neighborhoods that already have had their fill.

But 12 years ago, one mom, in one living room, started a phenomenon that’s still saving and improving lives.

Katie Boomgaard has the story in tonight’s Living Right.

Thanks to more donations, "Kids Off the Block" is getting 50 new computers, projector screens and printers for a new tech center opening at a nearby church.

The kids will learn about Cloud computing and coding.
