Want to help OLPC?

Are you a teacher? Teachers get their students involved and contribute educational content. Soon we hope to have an easy method for teachers to share their lesson plans and educational materials with schools using XOs. Are you a student? Students can help out by testing software and content, and by communicating with kids who have XOs.

Are you a Developer? Developers help code. Create Content for Children! People with expertise (especially related to content interesting to children) contribute and help curate, coordinate, and package content. You may want to look at the Curators and coordinators page to see the kinds of content that may be contributed.

For large-scale ways to get involved, see Getting involved in OLPC. If you have a bit of time and want to get started quickly reading or editing, some other links are included here.
