| One Laptop per Child (OLPC) |
Led by Nicholas Negroponte, this
is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to design, manufacture, and
distribute affordable laptop computers to children around the world. The
laptops were initially called the “$100 laptop”, but the final build cost almost
$200 each. In 2007, the One Laptop per Child organization started distributing
these laptop computers to children in developing countries. The laptops are
green and white portable computers with special features and are called XO
computers.
