I am Francesca, a Yale undergraduate is interning at OLPC this summer. I am involved in working on lots of projects described below:


Open Jams

An Open Jam, or OJ for short is a public meeting for people who want to get involved with the OLPC project. Each meeting should have a goal of content or code or contacts. The overarching goal of the project should be helping people learn in a way that will enable them to continue to be involved in the OLPC project. We want to think critically about how children learn, and how one can use computers to learn. We are going to work to develop materials, activities, and programs that will facilitate this.

We are starting a Boston_Saturday_OJ from 2-6 at 1CC, and we would love for anyone to come. Please send me an email and let me know if you are coming
