Webcast: One Laptop per Child: Revolutionizing How the World's Children Engage in Learning
A presentation by Walter Bender, President, Software and Content Development, One Laptop per Child Senior Research Scientist (on leave), MIT Media Lab. The program runs 70 minutes and was recorded at MIT on January 17, 2007.
In an informal conversation with an MIT Museum audience, Walter Bender describes the mission and progress of the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) venture. The brainchild of Nicholas Negroponte and the MIT Media Lab, this enterprise aims to put low-cost ($100 or less!) laptops into the hands of a billion plus children in the developing world. The mission is not merely to supply inexpensive technology, but to provide a multi-purpose teaching tool, Bender explains, with hardware and software aimed at enabling kids to explore the world and express themselves.
