About us

QUED-Up is a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching 2D animation to children aged 5 to 17. For students aged 16 and older, we offer guidance toward careers through certification programs in computer science and design, aiming to prepare them for high-paying jobs in these fields.

Donate a Laptop

We are currently accepting laptop donations for our Animation Program. Our goal is to provide computers to those in need, and we kindly ask for your assistance by donating any reusable laptops that are no older than 8 years. These laptops play a crucial role in our community as they allow individuals to access the necessary software for animation and design.

If you would like to make a donation, you can drop off your technology items at our location on Mondays through Thursdays, between 11:00-1:00 and 3:00-5:00, inside our lobby. Our address is 1363 Shermer RD. Northbrook, IL. Alternatively, if you are unable to drop off the donation, we can arrange for a local pickup within a reasonable distance from our site. Please don't hesitate to contact us, and we will gladly arrange a pickup location.
