Intel and One Laptop per Child (OLPC) today
announced they have agreed to work together to bring the benefits of
technology to the developing world through synergy of their respective
programs. Under the agreement, Intel and OLPC will explore
collaborations involving technology and educational content. Intel will
also join the board of OLPC.
OLPC is a non-profit organization
whose purpose is to bring learning opportunities to the most remote and
poorest children of the world by providing connected, low-cost and
rugged laptops to each and every child in their daily lives.
"Intel
joins the OLPC board as a world leader in technology, helping reach the
world's children. Collaboration with Intel means that the maximum
number of laptops will reach children," said Nicholas Negroponte,
founder of One Laptop per Child.
"Joining OLPC is a further
example of our commitment to education over the last 20 years and our
belief in the role of technology in bringing the opportunities of the
21st century to children around the world," said Paul Otellini, CEO of
Intel.
Intel currently invests more than $100 million per year
in over 50 countries to promote education, including efforts through
the Intel Foundation, and has been developing products for the
educational marketplace. Intel's focus on education for emerging
markets is part of the Intel World Ahead program, the company's
comprehensive approach to bring technology to everyone, anywhere in the
world.
About One Laptop per Child
One Laptop per Child (OLPC)
is a non-profit organization created to design, manufacture, and
distribute laptops that are sufficiently inexpensive to provide every
child in the world access to knowledge and modern forms of education.
The laptops will be sold to governments and issued to children by
schools on a basis of one laptop per child. These machines will be
rugged, Linux-based, and so energy efficient that hand-cranking alone
will generate sufficient power for operation. Mesh networking will give
many machines Internet access from one connection.
OLPC is based
on constructionist theories of learning pioneered by Seymour Papert and
later Alan Kay, as well as the principles expressed in Nicholas
Negroponte's Being Digital. The corporate members are AMD, Brightstar,
Chi Lin, eBay, Google, Intel, Marvell, News Corporation, Nortel
Networks, Quanta Computer, Red Hat and SES Astra. |
