FLOSSDesktops -- Discussion around the FLOSS Desktops for Kids Incubator Project
About FLOSSDesktops	English (USA)
In line with the "Maker" movement and supporting STEM (Science Technology Engineering & Math), this project helps schools and school children learn about and use open source software. This incubator project provides resources and mentors to help school districts, teachers and kids learn about computer hardware, networks and software through hands-on activities that re-builds computers. Using surplus and discarded school computers, kids break-down and repair computer hardware components, install open source software including Linux operating systems, Libre Office, GIMP, etc. The project teaches kids about computers and computing by doing. Once completed, the kids can take their computers home, "for keeps." To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the FLOSSDesktops Archives.
