Alex Perez: budget for what, specifically?

walterbender (@walterbender:matrix.org): what would be included?

Samson Goddy: It is grant based, from $5K-$15k
 +

walterbender (@walterbender:matrix.org): I assumed it was focused on stipends
 +

Alex Perez: it seems like we'd be probably more likely to get a smaller grant than a larger one, no?

Samson Goddy: The idea for the budget is to pay 60-70 percent to the intern than the rest to the organization

It is interesting, because most of the countries OLPC has been working with have not really been reached by Google, as connectivity is an issue... though, Nicaragua has been working with Chromebooks even in no conectivity schools, as some of the android apps they use might work off line

it seems like it would negatively affect the supply, with countries with more cash winning out

even here within the US, school districts with the money get Chromebooks, if they can source enough, and many school districts get nothing

walterbender (@walterbender:matrix.org): Mariana Ludmila Cortés: how do they laptops get used in the schools? at home? at present... and how can we help shape that use

 +
Mariana Ludmila Cortés: So this is the thing: 2005 OLPC was created to bring laptops (computers to compute) in the hands of kids. OLPC designed and manufactured a laptop for kids to develop better cognitive skills.
 +
 
 +
Long story short: 15 years later even when not the most needed kids have a laptop, there are plente of laptops vendors, distributors, models out there in the hands of kids but we sitll hear that teachers don't use them or don't use dem properly.... even worse:
