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.
