More info:
Our most precious natural resource is our children. The XO laptop is a children’s machine running the free GNU/Linux operating system and ‘Sugar’ software environment which was designed, from the ground up, to unleash the full power of this resource by tapping into children’s innate capacities to learn, share, and create. Come and see it for yourself at the stand and find out how you can get involved in making the dream of universal education a reality for South Africa!
