Canadian Private School Students Teach in Kenya

03/11/2009 By Travis Allison Leave a Comment

Four Upper Canada College students traveled to Kenya to teach using the revolutionary OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) computer.

From the UCC YouTube Page:

In March, four UCC students (Derek Chan, Amal Chandaria, Connor Cimowsky and Adam Gordon) and their teacher, Mark Battley, traveled to the Ntugi Day Secondary School in Kenya to test an innovative way of bringing laptops and the Internet to a school with no power and no previous experience with computers.
