Questions
- How do I become a chapter?
- First you will need to incorporate a group to pursue OLPC's mission in your country or region. See OLPC chapters for a three-step process.
- Can there be multiple chapters for one region?
- In general, this is not approved of. Chapters should serve to represent the efforts of all people in a region, not those of the founding members. If you have very specific ideas about a subset of OLPC's goals and want to pursue those, it is better to set up a non-profit whose name indicates that difference.
- My group is working on constructionist education in the classroom. Should we become a chapter?
- Becoming a chapter is a somewhat detailed process, requiring time and commitment to OLPC's goals, and to representing and supporting the OLPC community in a region. If you are a small group or just getting started, you don't need to wait on formal recognition for anyone; your group is welcome to the support and visibility we provide all community efforts, and can easily become a Friend of OLPC to present your work at events or festivals.
