OLPC Costa Rica
From OLPC
Costa Rica has had many experiments with OLPC over the past years, including support from Costa Rica University.
In 2012 the Education Ministry, working with the Fundación Quirós Tanzi and national retailer Gessa, has launched the Conectándonos project to connect young students to the Internet. The program started this month with a deployment of 1500 XOs to students and teachers, and is scheduled to reach 25,000 students by 2013.
They have engaged teachers and community leaders in the development of the project so far, and seem to be planning quite a well-balanced and integrated program.
