The OLPC Committee approved our project and will provide 2 XO-1-Laptops for the development phase.  We are very happy and send many thanks to the contributers.

The Institute for Geoinformatics and its education initiative GI@School, together with the open source initiative 52north and ESRI Germany started the OLPC4GeospatialLearning project!

The project objective is to develop applications for the XO-Laptop in order to foster geospatial thinking by using novel Information Technologies. Target groups for use of the applications are primary schools in Rwanda and Germany, especially the Social Science and Geography classes.
