OLPC Video of Twinning Canadian and Kenyan Schools

Hi, my name's Amal Chandaria, and I'm one of the four students from Upper Canada College who researched, designed and deployed an OLPC laptop implementation program at the Ntugi Day Secondary School in Kenya in March 2009.

A few weeks ago, Connor Cimowsky and I created a video documenting our trip, its challenges, and its successes. The National Middle School Association's invited students to submit short films to a contest for their annual conference this week in Indianapolis. The videos had to address the conference's theme: 'Making a World of Difference'. Since we felt our trip really embodied that theme, we decided to submit our video . The thrilling news is that our film was selected to be screened, and, this Saturday, will be shown in front of an audience of 7,000 people at the General Session.

Our video took us about 45 hours to complete and we are extremely proud of it. We feel that it really gives a good sense of the purpose and achievements of the trip. One of the challenging aspects of making the film was finding a way of compressing the huge scope of our trip into a short movie.
