What is OLPC ?
Education project
Learning opportunities for children in underprivileged sections of society
SELF-Empowered learning
The OLPC association develops a low-cost laptop—the “XO Laptop”—to revolutionize how we educate the world's children.

To provide educational opportunities for the world's underprivileged children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning.
It’s an education project,
not a laptop project.
- Nicholas Negroponte
(Founder of OLPC)
Our Mission

Self-learn Share Collaborate
Children can self-learn without the aid of teachers. They can share their ideas and opinions with each other. Learning made easy will come true with the help of these laptops.
Self-learn Share Collaborate
