This is a page to discuss and brainstorm about the design of a future University Program where interested students and professors can create OLPC University Chapters at their schools. Please edit, contribute, add!

Benefits

  • An "XO lab in a box" - some number of spots (3? 5?) in the developers' program so the students can have machines to play/experiment with (note: not sure if this is possible yet)
  • Connections, networking, etc. with others in the OLPC community (not that you can't do that without a university chapter, but this lowers the activation energy for people to join in)
  • Announcements about research, internship, etc. opportunities for OLPC work
  • A good excuse to work on OLPC for credit :-)

Activities

Ideas

Expand beyond universities - high schools, elementary schools, etc. might want to help

They could always be part of the chapter by their local college - great mentorship opportunity for the college students.
