Fabiana Kubke discusses 'Crowd-Sourcing For Communities: Lessons From The One Laptop Per Child Project' at Café Scientifique, hosted by the Auckland Museum Institute, Friends of the Auckland Museum on Wednesday, May 25, 2011.
Crowdsourcing brings together the knowledge of individuals as a way of empowering communities. From science, earthquake response and education, the power of bringing personal knowledge to the public is having profound effects in communities. Crowd sourced projects can be more rapid, flexible and responsive than some government efforts, and are capable of delivering many necessary outcomes. One of these projects, One Laptop Per Child, brings educational resources to poor children around the world. This programme offers opportunities for community engagement from people in a variety of fields to fill a gap in elementary education. Dr Kubke will talk about her volunteer experience in different crowdsourcing projects and will bring laptops to demonstrate the principles behind the OLPC project.
Dr Fabiana Kubke is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Anatomy with Radiology at the University of Auckland and blogger at Building Blogs of Science at SciBlogs.co.nz.
