Waveplace Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Pennsylvania that:

1) raises money to purchase laptops for Caribbean children.

2) creates training materials that teach digital media skills.

3) inspires teachers to use computers in new ways.


Our Pilots:


By October 1st, we'll have trained 23 teachers and 103 children how to really use Etoys and the XO.

We've also developed Etoys video tutorials and will ultimately produce a textbook and documentary film.

In 2009, we hope to raise enough money to train 144 teachers and donate 900 laptops. In 2010, we hope to raise this to 432 teachers and 3600 laptops.

While these numbers may seem small, we believe strongly that mentoring in small groups is essential to real success.
