New OLPC XOs at Jump Start

The Jump Start community sends their thanks to Professor Nancy Garner and to the Wright State University Asian Student Association for donating two additional One Laptop Per Child XOs. The kids are already putting the computers to good use.

Studying Cambodia at Jump Start

Students are researching Cambodia, soon to be home of our sister program, Jump Start Cambodia. They share the information on the Jump Start bulletin board.

Children in Cambodia

Children in Cambodia often do not have the resources for creative play. Jump Start Cambodia will make a difference in their lives and will give the Jump Start Middletown students a wonderful opportunity to learn about children around the world. We welcome contributions to help Jump Start here in Ohio and in Cambodia!

New One Laptop Design in the News

Read about the new One Laptop Per Child design. The new look does away with the keyboard in favor of touch screen and offers up two screens, so that it can be held like an electronic book.
