Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP)
“Standing still is a reliable recipe for going backward.”
Disruptive Innovation: OLPC’s goal is to provide children (even in the most remote areas) with an XO laptop, a children’s machine for “learning learning.” The XO will allow children to “tap into their own potential, to be exposed to a whole world of ideas, and to contribute to a more productive and saner world community.”
