Introducing Open Source and the Raspberry Pi to Schools in Developing Nations
نویسنده
چکیده
Several times my students and I have been involved with computing service projects for schools in both Central America and West Africa.1 Several of these projects involved refurbishing computers and sending them overseas. However, when I went to West Africa in 2009, I realized that we needed to change our approach if we were best to help computing there. Some of the specifi c challenges and two partial solutions follow.
