As part of our community outreach, New Media Interchange has arranged to stream and record Dorkbot SoCal meetings and bring their speakers to viewers around the world. This video was recorded on May 15, 2009 with the assitance of NMI member, Tracy Pattin, from Sizzle in the Middle.

People need affordable learning games. Worldwide, 4.1 billion people earn under $3,000 per year, meaning that even a $100 computer is often out of reach for the world’s emerging middle class. Playpower is targeting a $10 platform based on the 8-bit 6502 microprocessor that makes learning games affordable for “the other 90%.” Playpower designs high quality learning games, conducts field trials to confirm that they work, and fosters collaborations between game designers, cognitive scientists and NGOs.
