5. Inside After becoming more comfortable with their laptops, the children begin to explore with programs, settings and physical units. One of OLPC's major goals is helping children feel comfortable customizing their laptop configurations and guiding their own learning. Some laptops barely made it out of the plastic packaging before the students began experimenting. http://i.n.com.com/i/ne/p/2007/olpc_08_550x413.jpg http://i.n.com.com/i/ne/p/2007/olpc_05_550x413.jpg

6. Outside The local community built this school, now well worn, from plaster, wood and tin. One hundred fifty students and three classes cram into the two-room building, in a space which would comfortably fit 70 children in the United States. http://i.n.com.com/i/ne/p/2007/olpc_02_550x413.jpg http://i.n.com.com/i/ne/p/2007/olpc_07_550x413.jpg
