Open Jams

An Open Jam, or OJ for short is a public meeting for people who want to get involved with the OLPC project. Each meeting should have a goal of content or code or contacts. The overarching goal of the project should be helping people learn in a way that will enable them to continue to be involved in the OLPC project. We want to think critically about how children learn, and how one can use computers to learn. We are going to work to develop materials, activities, and programs that will facilitate this.
