One Laptop to Set Up US Project

The One Laptop Per Child project is turning its attention to children in the United States. The XO laptop developed by the OLPC was conceived to boost educational efforts in developing nations. Now the OLPC has set up a US office and has begun talking to state governments about ways to get the laptop into the hands of the poorest American children. The organisation said it would formally launch its XO programme in America later in 2008
