The document proposes several ideas for improving an information laboratory (infolab) including:
1) Organizing collective cleaning by students and teachers to keep costs low.
2) Offering affordable courses to raise funds and support further infrastructure improvements.
3) Keeping the infolab open during weekends to allow students to complete projects when they don't have access to computers at home.

2. Idea Selection
Collective
cleaning
Courses
at low cost
to raise funds
Open during
the weekends
The organization of a cleaning crowdsourcing on behalf of the
laboratory seems to be the idea where the costs are
practically low and its implementation absolutely viable.
To manage affordable courses as way of raising money,
besides promoting the community development also can help to
make further improvements in the infolab infrastructure.
The infolab open during to weekends seems to be a viable and
factual idea so that the students can finish off their final
projects. This implicates in few costs and it considerably aids
students that don't have computers at their homes and
students that have to work during the day.
