<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em">via <a href="http://planet.laptop.org/" class="f">Planet OLPC</a> by sj on 4/5/11</div><br style="display:none">
<p>Peru’s president <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Garcia">Alan Garcia</a> today committed to expanding their national program, the largest in the world. They are building national facilities for manufacturing / assembling laptops in-country, and will distribute their 1 millionth XO by the end of the year.<br>
<br>
Peru’s project will reach students in every public school in the country this year, covering 15 percent of all registered children in primary school. </p>
<p>Rodrigo Arboleda said of the latest announcement: “Being the largest deployment worldwide, Peru is an outstanding example of OLPC. We hope to see other countries establish manufacturing facilities of the scale and magnitude of Peru’s. Local manufacturing of XO laptops will enable Peru both to transform education and to make important investments in its economy.”</p>
<p>Peru is also continuing related partnerships with <a href="http://education.lego.com/default.aspx?domainredir=www.legoeducation.com">LEGO Education</a>, distributing the last of 92,000 <a href="http://blog.laptop.org/2011/02/12/lego-wedo-olpc-peru/">LEGO WeDo</a> toolkits to XO classrooms classrooms in 20,000 schools. Peru’s constructionist OLPC programs have included a focus on robotics and programming from early grades, to inspire children’s creativity and technical aptitude.<br>
<br>
In addition, Peru continues to invest in the global OLPC network developing applications for Sugar, the learning platform that runs on the XO laptop. Peruvian engineers are developing interactive learning games, finishing translations of Sugar into Aymara and Quechua, and translating a teacher’s curriculum guide — most recently into French for schools to use it in Madagascar! I hope to see a number of these devs at the upcoming <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Uruguay_Summit_2011">eduJAM! summit</a> in Uruguay.</p></div>
