The document outlines a project to educate children in urban slums using repurposed technology. It discusses (1) the goal of creating customized educational content on portable devices like OLPC laptops, (2) researching models like MIT Media Lab and benchmarking other projects, (3) questions around the feasibility and affordability of distributing individual laptops, and (4) the hypothesis of sharing one laptop between children. It considers (5) target users, educators, space needs, technical requirements, and subject matter. The document proposes (6) prototyping an upcycled projector made from discarded materials to allow children to view content together on a shared screen.

- 9. 3. Questions Is OLPC a best-fit product for the developing countries? XO is Great, OLPC for India is Not Its Not a Technical Problem, OLPC is Too Expensive “OLPC XO can perhaps be useful in some middle-income and most high-income countries. But for a low-income country like India, we have to continue to look for something more appropriate such as blackboards, books, and paper notebooks.” http://www.olpcnews.com/countries/india/atanu_dey_olpc_is_inappropriat.html OLPC
- 10. 3. Questions Confession of a India educator • It is difficult to deploy OLPC because of high cost in India. • Govt. is relativity immune and unable to find money for large scale deployments. • Even if someone deploy OLPC in a classroom, unavailability of "class teacher" who can teach OLPC. • In the village "Kikarwali" almost No OLPC Laptop were used. They were use only for the time of inspection of school. http://www.olpcnews.com/countries/india/atanu_dey_olpc_is_inappropriat.html OLPC
- 11. 4. Our hypothesis It is economically and environmentally impossible to distribute personal computers to each children in urban ghetto. Then, What about using one OLPC laptop to share educational resources with children? OLPC
- 12. 4. Our hypothesis Teaching Experience in India, 2011 OLPC
- 13. 4. Our hypothesis Issues while solving the problems OLPC
- 14. 5. Considerations Target Educator Space Tech. Contents Who are the Who delivers Where are Any required What subjects target user? education children technologies? they need to service to educated learn? What kind of children? safely? the value proposition can we create? OLPC
- 15. 5. Considerations Target OLPC
- 16. 5. Considerations 대상자 제공자 기술 컨텐츠 Target User 는 누구이며, 누가 아이들에게 어떤 Value 아이들에게 Space 필요한 기술은? 무엇을 가르칠 Proposition 을 교육 서비스를 것인가? 제시해야 제공할 것인가? 하는가? OLPC

- 20. 6. Visual Project OLPC
- 21. 6. Visual Project 1) Do it ourselves making projectors RISKY and a bit Expensive !! OLPC
- 22. 6. Visual Project 2) Directly connect OLPC with Project Success, but still need a projector OLPC
- 23. 6. Visual Project 3) Prototyping with second handed magic lantern Relatively cheap, but some issues OLPC
- 24. 6. Visual Project 4) Prototyping DIY-projector with package Box The cheapest way, but some issues OLPC
