== |
== Where can I get a XO? == |
||
The question most often asked by individuals is '''Where can I get an XO laptop in Switzerland?''' |
|||
* '''Borrow one:''' olpc.ch hosts several OLPC XO computers. They are used for exhibitions, presentations, and experimental use. See [[OLPC Switzerland/XOReservationSystem|XO Reservation System]] for details. |
|||
* '''Buy one at ebay:''' You could buy an XO at ebay.com |
|||
* '''Help us start a pilot program:''' olpc.ch plans to start a pilot program in Switzerland. If the hardware that is chosen for this program is the XO, then there is a possibility that some extra computers could be available for resale to individuals. However, the primary purpose of these computers is to be used in classrooms, within a very specific educational framework. |

Latest revision as of 00:16, 6 December 2020
There are 4 national languages in Switzerland. English (which is not a national language) is probably the best way to reach the largest audience. That is the reason why we publish in English here.
What is OLPC.ch?
The non profit association olpc.ch
In June 2008, the non-profit association One Laptop Per Child Switzerland was founded in Bern, Switzerland. To become a member, start by subscribing to the mailing list and send us an email to introduce yourself to the rest of the community.
Here is a short video about olpc.ch recorded at the Swiss Day of computer science (August, 29th 2008) [Play Video]
- We use this Wiki for collaborative publishing
- We communicate and coordinate on the olpc-ch mailing list [Subscribe]
- We host files on Dropbox [View]
- We own the olpc.ch domain name and make it available for OLPC Switzerland initiatives
- We have a Twitter channel : olpcswitzerland [Goto]
- We have a Facebook page : olpcswitzerland [Goto]
The objectives of olpc.ch
- Demonstrate that the OLPC educational initiative and philosophy are worth promoting in Switzerland
- Show that XO laptops and tablets are not simply «cheap personal computers for developing countries» by using them in one of the world's wealthiest countries
- Promote the dissemination of XO software and hardware in German, French and Italian speaking regions by adapting them to these languages.
- Promote the Squeak and Scratch programming environments by adequate examples and ideas developed in Swiss pedagogic universities and tested in Swiss schools
- Emphasise the importance of basic computational concepts in contrast to product-based knowledge by using non-commercial hardware and software
- Demonstrate and encourage the possibilities of digital learning tools within Swiss education
For the official list of our objectives, please refer to article 3 of our new statutes (in French only). Our objectives include the promotion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for Education (in French : TICE).
Our Flyer (also Flyer in German as RTF and Flyer in French as PDF) is a handy summary you may find of interest. More generally speaking, we also aim at participating in the OLPC Europe group, and share the OLPC_Europe/Vision. See also this video (in French) where Michael Vorburger of OLPC.ch speaks about the XO and OLPC Switzerland.

Where can I get a XO?
The question most often asked by individuals is Where can I get an XO laptop in Switzerland?
- Borrow one: olpc.ch hosts several OLPC XO computers. They are used for exhibitions, presentations, and experimental use. See XO Reservation System for details.
- Buy one at ebay: You could buy an XO at ebay.com
- Help us start a pilot program: olpc.ch plans to start a pilot program in Switzerland. If the hardware that is chosen for this program is the XO, then there is a possibility that some extra computers could be available for resale to individuals. However, the primary purpose of these computers is to be used in classrooms, within a very specific educational framework.
If you are the representative of an educational institution, public or private, please send your questions and requests to Michael Lew (michael@olpc.ch).
