1. Columbus School for Girls XO Laptop Service Learning Project - Ohio

[SPECIFIC SITE NEEDS TO BE POSTED OFF
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ]
Requests 1 XO-1.5 over 14+ months
Project Objectives:
The main objective of this project is to interest and engage high
school girls in computer science through this hands-on, real-world,
socially relevant service learning project. Our school typically only
fields 2-3 students in any given computer science class we offer, and
they are always the same 2-3 students. This project attracted over 40
students initially, which is almost 15% of our student body. The service
learning trip is the “hook” I needed to interest many students in
something they might not otherwise discover.

Requests 7 XO-1.5's over 3 months
Project Objectives:
Each Year our SIFE team comes up with new and innovative projects
that push
the level of competition in SIFE. Back in July of 2009, our team came up
with a vision of transforming a small school bus into an interactive
learning lab aimed at teaching young students about the environment
and the
world around them. Our SIFE students have spent months developing
curriculum, purchasing the small bus and planning the program. We are
now in
the final stages of finishing the bus design and will begin teaching
as of
March 15. We plan to impact over 1,000 3rd and 4th grade students in
California between March 15 and April 30. We are well established in our
community because of 19 year legacy of students dedicated to service.
This
allows us to make the 1,000+ student mark a reality.

Requests 4 XO's over 36 months
Project Objectives:
To bring together knowledge from around the world to incorporate into
helpful actions formed by youth (and community members that said
youth can
inspire to help.) To do this, we will form an alliance of youth between
countries whom are chosen to cast frequent reports on ongoing problems,
possible solutions and resolved issues. This alliance will work
together to
record happenings (country laws, natural disasters, changes in the earth,
new projects in space, etc.), natural or otherwise disasters, and raise
money to contribute to stronger, healthier choices to better the
community,
country, continent, and world.

Requests 2 XO-1.5's over 12 months
Project Objectives:
Develop a framework to support learning. First steps of a
literacy acquisition game have been taken and an Iphone application has
been developed during a project at university. The iphone app has been
evaluated with a psychologist and some of the children he treats. The
evaluation of the app was very promising and showed that learning games
which follow pedagogic principles are very effective. The goal of the
framework is to support the learner during his learning activity and
react if problems appear.
