Introduction
ccTaiwan is hosting an OLPC Curriculum Jam in Taipei, right before the Wikimania conference, from August 1-2. An OLPC Jam is a content creation crunch that gets participants from idea to reality in just a few days. For this Jam, we'll be creating learning activities in making small collections of materials that kids can use to teach themselves something, whether it's math or art or a Russian folk dance. On Sunday afternoon, a judging panel of local schoolchildren will review the submissions and declare the winner. After the Jam, we'll upload all the lessons plans we've generated to the internet and release them under an open content license so that students and teachers around the world can use them.

What is a Jam?
An OLPC Jam is a content creation crunch that gets participants from idea to reality in just a few days. By the end of the Jam, you'll have something finished to test with local schoolchildren (who serve as judges for the event). It's a great way to get started developing for OLPC.
