Bringing Raspberry Pi to classrooms
At OLE Nepal, we strive to bring the best new technology to our classrooms. It's never easy to embrace a new piece of technology, for teachers are resistant to the change, with factors like power cuts and budget making up a huge share of challenge. So we set our selection of the technology based on the 3 prime constraints; low-powered, portable, and low cost. And for these traits, Raspberry Pi steps up as the knight in shining armor.

OLE Nepal's venture into open sourcing E-Paath(2-6)
OLE Nepal's pursuit of digitizing educational material up to grade 10 recently reached a major milestone as we completed the development of content for grade 8. Although this is quite the achievement, computer technology is such an ever-evolving field that the content developed for grade 2 to grade 6—using Flash—has become technologically outdated. Consequently, OLE Nepal, in our endeavor of improving education through computer science, decided to make our code base for grade 7-8, developed using HTML5, JS, and CSS, open source and involve students from various fields of computer science into our project to redevelop the content for grade 2-6.

Portraits in relief center
Our volunteers from OLE Nepal have been working with children in Tundikhel relief camp for over a month. They bring interactive learning materials in child friendly XO laptops for the children. The children can explore various learning activities in Math, English and Science in Nepali, English and Chepang languages. The children look forward to using these laptops and they seem engaged in those learning activities. It was enlivening to meet children from various backgrounds , interests and aspirations. While we got to interact with them helping them learn, we also took their interviews along with their portraits.
