- Short Bio
Our mission is to inspire community innovation through cost efficient school technology integration and interactive computer science programs in developing countries.
The Computer Science Initiative was born from the need to provide cost effective alternatives to traditional school computer labs in Honduras. Traditional computer labs that have one desktop to each users is expensive and a waste of energy resources. Using open source computing and cost effective computer hardware (10 refurbished computers run in a virtual environment on one refurbished server), we determined the cost savings of virtual computing in the school environment to be 70% cheaper. In addition to the initial cost savings of these open source virtual school computers, after year three the lab pays for itself in cost savings in energy bills.
