An [[Jams|OLPC Jam]] is a content creation crunch that gets participants from idea to reality in just a short period of time. Anyone passionate about technology in education - teachers, students, parents alike - should feel free to come by and express how they feel the XO can best be utilized to meet classroom needs.

The focus of this event will be to identify academic areas where the XO is lacking and develop ideas for activities or other content that could be developed. Educators, this is your chance to have things made as you'd like to see them, since we'll be working to bring as much of this to life at [[Game Jam Chicago]]!

What's this all about?

An OLPC Jam is a content creation crunch that gets participants from idea to reality in just a short period of time. Anyone passionate about technology in education - teachers, students, parents alike - should feel free to come by and express how they feel the XO can best be utilized to meet classroom needs.

The focus of this event will be to identify academic areas where the XO is lacking and develop ideas for activities or other content that could be developed. Educators, this is your chance to have things made as you'd like to see them, since we'll be working to bring as much of this to life at Game Jam Chicago!
