Last year two students in this course held a fund raiser to buy two XO laptops, these laptops have been designed for use of students in third world countries. They are given to students to take home where in some cases they might be only source of light. The class kept one laptop and the other was donated to the OLPC program.
The Xo contains many innovative features such as daylight visible screen, a flash drive, mech networking, and a large collection of pre-installed software.
