The document summarizes the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project which aims to provide children around the world with low-cost, rugged, low-power laptops to facilitate learning. Key points: - OLPC laptops cost $188 each currently and aim to reach $100 through economies of scale. They are designed to be rugged, use little power, and run open-source software. - The laptops use a child-centered interface called Sugar and are meant to encourage hands-on, constructionist learning through interactive activities rather than traditional applications. - By being open-source, the project hopes to avoid vendor lock-in and allow communities worldwide to participate in its development and translation
