Welcome

This page is intended to become an overview of OLPC educational activities and community.

One Laptop per Child is an education project, not a laptop one. While much of our effort over the last few years has been devoted to bringing the physical laptop into existence, that laptop is simply the carefully crafted means to an end. Its innovative design and unique focus, together with the project's extraordinary scale (tens and hundreds of millions of children, not "a few hundred here, a few thousand there"), has the potential to impact the way children learn in rapid and profound ways. We invite you to become a part of this educational revolution.

Already, hundreds of laptops have been distrubuted to pilot sites around the world. This summer, the final hardware pre-production "B4" beta-test will go out to another thousand children. The first "official" production run is estimated to be in the millions, and will increase from there. It's an exciting time to get involved with OLPC.

Introduction


We need a big-picture paragraph describing:

  • who creates content
  • how it gets collected an curated
  • how it gets distributed
  • and how people can contribute to these steps
