There are plenty of opportunities for kids and parents alike to get involved in the OLPC project. You can:

Are you a teacher or high school/college student? You can contribute by doing testing, development, mentoring, and more.

You don't have to code to contribute! There are plenty of ways that artists, writers, photographers, etc. can help out.

This is an global project; we ♥ people who can help translate wiki content, software, and content bundles.

Getting started is pretty easy for testers and developers. There is a strong developer community, as well as a developer support infrastructure.

There are lots of hardware opportunities, from alternative power brainstorming to peripheral development to XO repair.

Help create changes in the community you live in - as well as ones you'd like to go to.
