Projects

Courses

We are running an independent study course for peripheral development. Initial planning for the course can be found at our Wikiversity page.

Current documentation and project details can be found at inertial navigation peripheral.

Repairs

Olin hosts an on-campus repair center run by students. Our repair center works at cost of shipping and parts, with volunteer labor from trained students. Besides helping out G1G1 donors, the Olin repair center also plans to support any pilot or test schools in the area with repairs.

Past brainstorming for the repair center lives at /Repair center.

Software development

In the capable hands of Yifan and Arash. Ilari is also heading up an effort to get us a shiny website and repairs tracking system.

Details live at /Software.

Pilot school involvement

Olin's OLPC Chapter is getting involved with the pilot at the Cambridge Friends School. Sandra is heading up our pilot efforts.

Meeting minutes and details live at /Pilots.

Events

Olin hosted a community Jam during the spring semester. The chapter is planning to host another jam during the 2008-2009 school year.
