OLPCities/ALPHACity Brasil - e

The project target is the creation of an interface having the style of the GameBoy from Nintendo (orthogonal 3D) where the kid's avatar (there are some to choose) will "walk", founding many "activities".

The project is in beta phase and we have now more than 10 activities implemented in the areas of: Social Studies, History, English vocabulary etc.

The application is integrated with a database at a remote server and we can capture the opinion of the kids about some questions and publich the results in realtime. It's available now an evaluation about the next presidential election.

ALPHACity Brasilis NOW on line and was tested for the simulator of Fedora+Sugar+web browser (last image available)for Windows and for the Internet Explorer but we believe that it can be accessed by any browser.

At the figure we see an activity of History, where tha avatar needs to "talk" to some characters. The "date" is the year 3000 A.C !

There are some Squeak laboractories (on line exercices) that only can be accessed by the Internet Explrer and if there are installed the Squeak plugin. We hope to have sonn a new "image" Fedora+Sugar with this plugin available for real tests.

We are publishing (AVAILABLE NOW!) a daily newspaper created for kids between 8 to 18 years having explanations of some subjects for their better understandment of the context of the notice.

The address to go to ALPHACity is http://www.dmu.com/olpc You can go there NOW! I know that it's not easy to understand portuguese, but you can take a general look.
