Children are working on their OLPC laptops in a school 10 miles outside the capital of Nigeria, Abuja. This school was selected by Khaled Assounah, Director of Nicholas Negraponte’s One Laptop Per Child Program (OLPC) who spent a year touring schools in Nigeria. For the full story from Nigeria, see CNET, and here for more background on the OLPC project, and a video demonstration.

It’s great to see the XO where it belongs, in the hands of the children.
Now that they’re shipping in volume, maybe we’ll see the price start to come down over time…
