Nicole Laliberte of Penn State University is the February CASE ServiceBook Monthly award winner. She received $1000 for her project to provide solar-powered laptops to children in Tanzania.
This project will introduce new computing technologies to K-12 students at Mt. Meru Peak School in Tanzania via solar-powered XO laptop computers. The computer was designed at MIT and will provide an exciting opportunity for the students that they have not had before. Tools such as a Web browser, rich media player, and e-book reader bring into reach domains of knowledge that are otherwise difficult or impossible for rural, poor, third world children to access. |
