The Millennium goals
LAPTOP PER CHILD
Education and OLPC
Supplies and prior conditions which are
neccesary for good education. It focuses on
how modern tools can be integrated in a
school system in a cheap but sustainable way.
It is not a laptop project but an educational
project
OLPC and our route
Goal of our trip
“Enlarge childrens chances of
getting an equal chance in life”
Our contribution
• Public Relations: We create publicity for OLPC.
• Operational: We help at project level.
• Tactical: We deliver consultancy at the projects.
• Finance: We generate funds for the local projects.
2. Trends
• Smaller
• Quicker
• Collaboration
• Always online
• Mobility
Ultra Mobile PC’s
3. Competitors
Intel with a $280 laptop
and ASUS with a $400 laptop...
he has a dream...
4. Filosophy of One Laptop Per Child
It’s an educational project,
not a laptop project
OLPC
• Non-profit organization
• Founded by Nicholas Negroponte, cofounder
of the MIT
• Design the OLPC, find sponsors and deals with
the government
5 What is it?
Cheap
• Large volume
• No sales and marketing force
• Display energy consumption
• Direct distribution
• Standardized
• Low cost architecture
• Linux and Open source software
• Optimized software
• Power management (about 10% of typical
laptop)
Sustainable
• The laptop lifetime is 5 years or 2.5 times
longer than a typical laptop
• Half the size and weight of a typical laptop
• Goal: not a single XO laptop should end up in a
landfill
Some specifications…
• 7.5 inch diagonal screen at 1200x900 (200 dpi)
• 800x600 in grayscale
– Sunlight readable!
• Wi-fi, USB(x3), mic, speakers, camera, SD
• Screen rotates to tablet mode
• Water and dirt resistant keyboard
– walk in the rain with it!
5 Timeline
6. Implementation
• Peru (200.000)
• Uruguay (100.000)
• Mongolia (20.000)
• India
• Mexico (50.000)
• Filipines, Nigeria, Ethopia and many others
7. Implementation
Challenges
• Infrastructure
– Power
– Connectivity
• Political uncertainty
• Physical environment
• Effective distribution
• OLPC
• Cost
… about the price…
• One Laptop Per Nigerian child would be 73%
of the entire governmental income and One
Laptop Per Argentinean child would be half of
the non-salary education budget. Countries
like Rwanda or Nepal have no hope to afford
even $100 per child out of their own national
budgets.
(2006 figures)
…and about the (real) costs….
• Laptop cost
• Training
• Software maintenance
• Hardware maintenance
• Internet connection – satellite, mobile...
• Estimated about 978$ - 5years
(2006 figures)
…the (2007) business model..
• G1 G1 Program
Why not G1- G100/1000?
• Budget for development
• Non-profits means that profits may not be
distributed to investors, so a non-profit
doesn't have shareholders
…what else?..
• All children who get an XO will need
training!
• Content
• Training of teachers
8. How to proceed?
• Piloting in different countries
• Sugar independend of device
• Improved interface
• Improved distribution
• Lower cost (75 $ in 2010)
• Framework for implementation
– Training, content etc.
Goal of our trip
“Enlarge childrens chances of
getting an equal chance in life”
