The Entertainment Technology Center and the One Laptop per Child Project (OLPC) are teaming up to make fun and entertaining games for the One Laptop per Child Project's XO Laptop. OLPC is a non-profit organization spun out
of MIT's Media Lab whose mission is to provide children in lesser developed countries a means to learn through the use of technology. To do this OLPC has created an ultra low-cost, durable, power-efficient notebook computer called the XO. With the XO children have the means to connect, create, and learn with other children around the world.
The ETC-XO Project, located at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, will focus on creating entertainment software for the XO with the hope of inspiring children who use the laptop. The team of four students will make games based on soccer (football) showcasing the unique attributes of the XO Laptop.
