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.
