Over his career at Kodak he was responsible for industrial hygiene for significant tours of duty with the Synthetic Chemicals Division, Chemical Manufacturing Organization, Construction, Maintenance, & Facilities Organizations, Roll Coating Division, Photochemicals Division, Manufacturing Research & Engineering Organization, and Research and Development Divisions. He helped developed Kodak's asbestos control program, occupational exposure tracking system, exposure monitoring and analysis systems for historic and active cohorts of workers exposed to methylene chloride. He developed and delivered health education sessions for thousands of people working with asbestos and other hazardous physical, chemical, biologic, or mechanical agents. Frederick is a Certified Industrial Hygienist, a Master of Public Health (University of California, Berkeley), and a Bachelor of Science in chemistry (University of California, Riverside). He had been working most of his final 6 years at Kodak as an ergonomics associate, helping industrial clients to understand and implement ergonomic solutions that improve jobs and workplaces.

Abstract

One Laptop per Child, the OLPC project, is a non-profit association created by faculty members of the MIT Media Lab in 2005. The association oversees the Children’s Machine project and construction and deployment of the XO, the $100 Laptop, designed to “revolutionize how we educate the world's children,” including those with limited energy and other infrastructure resources. While they emphasize that OLPC is an education project, their strategy is to promote worldwide collaboration on the development of an open-source computing and communication platform. The platform would grow to accelerate learning in whole communities and among all associated with the project. Their ambitious goals and advanced, but low-cost, and energy-efficient hardware and software have captured the imaginations of hundreds of thousands of people. In November 2007 they started mass production of the XO laptop, and the pioneers of the next wave of worldwide computing seem to be in the making!
