Andrea just finished her first year at Olin College. She's wondering how she got involved in this gig, given that she'll probably pursue bioengineering (then again, plenty of things can change). She is going to be working on a science education kit to accompany the XO after finding out how intriguing (if not terrifyingly time-consuming) curriculum development can be. She'll also be managing website stuff and other internet-y things this summer.

Core Staff

The full-time staff is currently in the Boston area (and making good use of OLPC resources!).

Chris Carrick

Chris is a recent graduate of Olin College. He intends to put his mechanical engineering degree to good use by working on an off-grid charger for the XO. Nikki's lolcat illustrations of staff members pegs him as "surprisingly normal", though we'll see about that. He'll also be managing transportation related things at the Chicago office.

Mel Chua

Mel is one of the few people crazy enough to intern for OLPC twice; as a Content intern in 2007 and a grassroots intern in 2008. Hypothetically an electrical engineer with an interest in embedded development and the strange habit of reading specifications documents for fun and pleasure, Mel can occasionally be found on a plane heading across the country (or the world) to run OLPC hackathons, work with grassroots groups, and doing too many other things to be listed here. Mel serves as the outreach and contact point for other Illinois-area grassroots groups and pilots, encouraging connections and learning from (and publicizing) as many great projects from other groups as possible. A more functional bio is available here.

Andrea Lai

Andrea just finished her first year at Olin College. She's wondering how she got involved in this gig, given that she'll probably pursue bioengineering (then again, plenty of things can change). She is going to be working on a science education kit to accompany the XO after finding out how intriguing (if not terrifyingly time-consuming) curriculum development can be. She'll also be managing website stuff and other internet-y things this summer.


Nikki Lee

Nikki will be a junior at Olin College. She will be pursuing signal processing applications for the XO (yay, motion detection!) after learning about a bunch of this stuff in Signals & Systems. She likes to pat people on the head, do martial-artsy things, and do standard artsy drawing things. She gets to run the office! (Enforced fun time is impending...) P.S. She designed the nifty ILXO logo. Whee, grassroots!
