== October 2010 == === Fri, Oct 15 -- First classroom sessions === Young children really do learn fast. I can hardly believe that how fast some of them went from using a computer for the first time to browsing the Internet.

Our team distributed laptops to 3rd, 4th and 5th grade children of the pilot school annex to the [[http://www.mec.gov.mz/dep.php?p=504|Instituto de FormaƧao de Professores de Matola]]. Considering that this was the first experience for everyone in the national OLPC team, today's operations went remarkably smoothly. We organized an assembly line with multiple stages: box opening, firmware upgrades, labeling, inventorying and checkout. Tomorrow the school will be closed for teacher's day. On Wednesday, we'll start to see some action in the classrooms!
