I am Francesca Slade, a Yale undergraduate is interning at OLPC this summer. My email is firstname.lastname [at] yale.edu. My cell phone number is (917) 842 6216. 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.
Bilingual Cultural Exchange
The bilingual cultural exchange program connects classrooms with XO's with college and high school students who are from a different part of the world. The goal is to promote (as the name of the project suggests) a bilingual cultural exchange in the form of emails about each individual's respective communities.
Flashcard Data Structure Application
Most Applications on the XO use a binary data set to quiz students: Image Quiz uses an image map: string binary pair Kuku uses either an image: string pair, or a string: string pair Memory uses an image:image set Unfortunately to edit the set of information used for the quiz programs you have to have a reasonable facility with Python. I would like to create a standard file type that could be passed between applications. I will also create an application to create such a file format.
The other side of this problem involves areas of information where questions could be generated by a computer, as in areas of math, and language learning. Another goal would be to make the standard file type work to creating random questions.
Teacher Chats on IRC
File Sharing over the Mesh Network
I am working to test Poly's work with [Simple_mesh_test_(Cerebro)]. Ultimately trying to get an activity running that will facilitate file transfer over the mesh.
Kuku
I am currently working on getting Kuku running on the newest XO build. Mainly to learn about how activities work on the XO.
Yale OLPC
I am starting the OLPC Yale chapter. We are interested in participating in the Bilingual Cultural Exchange program. Functioning as a resource for new schools, and working to start a New Haven XO classroom.
