Intel Joins OLPC Board
July 16, 2007 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and SANTA CLARA, Calif. Under a collaboration agreement, Intel Corporation will join the board of One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) and will work with the non-profit group to bring technologies and education to children in developing nations. Intel and OLPC will explore synergies in technologies, educational content, and other programs.
OLPC's $100 laptop had previously competed with Intel's Classroom laptop computer, both of which are designed with low-cost components and assembly processes and with ruggedized features to suit the environments in Africa, South America, and other high-heat or high-humidity locations.

Collaboration between OLPC, which operates under the United Nations (UN), and Intel will expand the opportunities available to children globally, and will ensure that the maximum number of low-cost ruggedized laptops are deployed, said Nicholas Negroponte, founder, OLPC. The agreement will expand Intel's role in global education, added Paul Otellini, CEO, Intel.
