Mackenzie Sigalos ’10 also tackled the issue of accessibility in her team’s winning social venture project DigiLit. She said she was inspired by the non-profit organization One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), which aims to provide inexpensive laptops to children throughout the developing world in order to eliminate poverty through education...
...they will lose the chance to enroll in different courses if they change their minds. The process also does not seem like it will require much effort on the part of undergraduates.

So engineers have been busy resolving the heat problem and refining the batteries' ability to handle partial charge-discharge cycles...
