We are a community of New Zealand educators, technologists, polyglots, and more who contribute to the One Laptop Per Child project.
Our goal is to get a laptop loaded with educational tools into the hands of every one of the world's poorest children. OLPC has shipped to millions of children around the world, given laptops to every child and teacher across entire countries. The work continues.
We write software, test other people's software, design educational activities, and translate text. We are part of a global effort of professionals, volunteers, students, and people like yourself.
We visit deployments in the Pacific region and also are deploying pilots into New Zealand schools. Come talk to us about the olpc hardware and the Sugar educational software.
We meet once a week in Wellington and Auckland. Everyone is welcome to join us. We have brunch, drink coffee, and enjoy conversation while continuing the good work.
