In October 2007 the Uruguay government placed its first order for 100,000 laptops from the One Laptop Per Child initiative. The goal, to provide laptops for students in Uruguay and to provide one laptop for every single pupil, was a bold initiative for the South American country. Uruguay, along with the South pacific island nation of Nuie, completed the first computer initiative giving every single schoolchild in the country a laptop computer in late 2009.
One Laptop Per Child
The "One Laptop Per Child" initiative started at the Technology Media Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Nicholas Negroponte spearheaded the effort to create a $100 laptop. The One Laptop Per Child initiative at Laptop.org launched a promotional campaign in 2007, offering "give one get one," an offer to donors to receive one and donate one to students in countries enrolled in the One Laptop Per Child program.
While the $100 product has never been achieved, the laptops for students cost less than $200 and Uruguay has ordered 400,000 since 2007, completing the goal to distribute one laptop per child across the country.
