Village youngsters are taught to do electronics and feel that they can make the world in which they live (and some of their ideas feed back to the Media Lab here). Amy Sun has been involved with the project in Ghana and South Africa (<a href="http://web.media.mit.edu/~asun/fab.shtml" eudora="autourl">http://web.media.mit.edu/~asun/fab.shtml). </a>Might well be of interest also to your engineering students. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div></div></body></html>
