Presentation of Labdoo, laptops for education

Labdoo tries to reduce the digital divide and the leftovers generated by the use of New Information Technologies. It would be ideal to live in a world were all the children would have the chance to learn in a intuitive way thanks to laptops and it would also be great that developing countries wouldn't become the garbage dump of our programmed obsolescence. 

Labdoo is a philosophy about recycling and reusing to benefit education. A used laptop in the first world could be used by a kid in a developing country. Labdoo connects people keen to donate their laptop with developers, volunteers, civil society and associations such as Engineers without Borders and learning projects throughout the world. Labdoo is a network dedicated to reduce the impact of commons issues in both worlds and improve education in the developing world.

This presentation is part of a series of events in Medialab-Prado and CSA Tabacalera de Lavapiés entitled "Un portátil por cada humano" (One Laptop per Human). It includes a festival to collect laptops on February 25 and a videoforum about the documentary "Obsolescencia Programada" (Programmed Obsolescence) on the 26, both at CSA Tabacalera.
