Bridging the Digital Divide with Education, Technology, and Outreach from the OLPC project's perspective. We look at approaches to children and learning. We also look at ways in which we bypass a lack of infrastructure, teacher rigor, and cultural barriers.OLPC now reaches all continents, including Antarctica!

Mission

OLPC's mission is to empower the world's poorest children through education

We aim to provide each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop. To this end, we have designed hardware, content and software for

collaborative, joyful, and self-empowered learning. With access to this type of tool, children are engaged in their own education, and learn, share, and create together. They become connected to each other, to the world and to a brighter

future.
