Our mission and project goals

OLPC is designed around the idea of the free sharing of knowledge. Our goal is to empower children to share and build on what they learn in every way imaginable. There should be no barriers to children who wish to re-create and build on the materials they are given.

XO will bring a world of new ideas, images and materials within reach of children around the world. It will also bring children and teachers new ways to collaborate, create, and transform works over time. Our focus on collaboration as a fundamental element of learning drives a commitment to editable document formats, revision tracking, and careful attribution of authors and sources. [1]
