We aim to provide each child with a rugged,
low-cost, low-power,
connected laptop. To this end, we have designed hardware, content
and software for collaborative, joyful, and self-empowered learning.
With access to this type of tool, children are engaged in their own
education, and learn, share, and create together. They become con‐
nected to each other, to the world and to a brighter future.
The user interface and applications for the OLPC were written in
Python. Over 2.5 million children and teachers in 42 countries have
such laptops.
Perhaps the most famous and successful computing-in-education
project in history is the
Raspberry Pi
(with over 5 million devices
delivered so far). Unsurprisingly, Python is at the heart of the
project. The next chapter is a case study exploring why the Rasp‐
berry Pi Foundation chose to focus on Python and how this has led
to some unexpected yet wonderful outcomes.
