Abstract

========

Most of the two billion children in developing countries have unsufficient

access to education. The non-profit "One Laptop per Child" project is

working on a learning machine, a cheap, networked computer with software to

support "learning to learn" for every child. One of its software components

is "Etoys", a tile-based authoring environment written on top of Squeak.

The talk will present the OLPC project, its current state of development

in general and the progress on Etoys in particular.

Bio

===

Dr. Bert Freudenberg got a PhD from the University of Magdeburg

(on non-photorealistic realtime rendering). He worked for impara GmbH

in Magdeburg developing software for children. Currently he is a freelancing

developer working for Alan Kay's Viewpoints Research Institute on porting the

Squeak and Etoys environment to the 100 dollar laptop.
