John Tierney Sugar Labs (R), software provider to the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, will sponsor the Slipstream Sports LLC Continental racing team in a groundbreaking arrangement which will see funds raised over the team’s budget support the nonprofits educational mission. In addition, Slipstream will raise awareness for Sugar Labs at races around the world by placing the Sugar Labs logo on the Chipotle Development Teams jersey. <span style="font-size:13pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;" id="internal-source-marker_0.0698468601554475">“The Slipstream Sports youth cycling team has grown out of the company's founding goals of fostering young talent and developing the next generation of cycling champions. Every kid loves a bike race and young cyclists provide great role models for children,” said Jonathan Vaughters, CEO of Slipstream Sports. “Moreover, cycling offers a great opportunity for young learners to study geography, science, and technology. We want to make a difference in the lives of young athletes and children and our innovative sponsorship arrangement with Sugar Labs is part of that.” <span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" id="internal-source-marker_0.0698468601554475">The team will race over the next ten days in the 68th Vuelta Ciclista del Uruguay 2011 and pupils there will participate, taking photos and writing articles with their green XO laptops as the race passes through their towns and e-mailing them to <a href="mailto:concurso@rapceibal.info">concurso@rapceibal.info</a> for posting to a blog (http://www.sugarlabs.org/vueltaciclista). The best articles will win prizes to be awarded at the eduJAM! Developers Summit which will take place in Montevideo from May 5–7 (http://ceibaljam.org). “Sports and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) have a great synergy. We are excited by the prospect of engaging children in learning math and science through their excitement about the race”, said Walter Bender, founder and Executive Director of Sugar Labs. Uruguay is the first country in the world to provide 100% of its elementary school pupils and teachers - over half a million - with an OLPC XO laptop running Sugar orchestrated through Plan Ceibal (http://www.ceibal.edu.uy). The program is being extended to older students with the blue XO-1.5 HS laptop. According to Gabriel Eirea of CeibalJAM!, “This race is, after football, the most popular sports event in the country and is an integral part of our local culture. Every year during Holy Week this race passes through many of the remotest towns of the country and is followed by hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic viewers. The volunteer community supporting Plan Ceibal implementation, represented by RAP Ceibal and ceibalJAM!, wants to promote the use of XO laptops beyond the schools, inside the communities, advocating technology appropriation. With the Sugar platform and the XO laptop, our children don’t just consume content, they create it. During the race, children throughout the country will be blogging about the team. At eduJAM!, developers of the Sugar platform will meet children who are at the center of their mission and benefit from their work.” <hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2011 22:45:25 +0000 From: sdaly@sugarlabs.org To: marketing@lists.sugarlabs.org Subject: [Marketing] SL_PR_20110415_draft (marketing@lists.sugarlabs.org) <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=unicode"> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft SafeHTML"> <div style="background-color:#d1e4f0;width:650px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000;padding:5px"><div style="height:36px;font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:4px"><table style="display:inline;width:100%"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0" width="32px"><img src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/docs/doclist/images/icon_7_document_email.png" style="height:32px;margin-right:5px" alt=""></td> <td style="padding:0" valign="middle" height="32px">I've shared <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VeRqaW2HOfAruc5y1nxjWHMQp40l-xabajTrYXapJRQ/edit?hl=en&invite=CNqjvEM" target="_blank">SL_PR_20110415_draft</a></td></tr></tbody></table></div> <div style="font-size:13px;background-color:#FFF;padding:10px 7px 7px 7px">Message from <a href="mailto:sdaly@sugarlabs.org" style="color:#007825;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none">sdaly@sugarlabs.org</a>: <pre style="font-size:13px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif">first draft; mail me please for edit access</pre> <div style="height:1px;background-color:#ccc;padding:0px"></div> Click to open: <ul style="list-style-type:none;padding:0"><li style=""><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VeRqaW2HOfAruc5y1nxjWHMQp40l-xabajTrYXapJRQ/edit?hl=en&invite=CNqjvEM" target="_blank">SL_PR_20110415_draft</a></li></ul> Google Docs makes it easy to create, store and share online documents, spreadsheets and presentations. <div style="text-align:right"><a href="http://docs.google.com" target="_blank"><img style="border:0" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/docs/doclist/images/docs_logo_sm.gif" alt="Logo for Google Docs"></a></div></div></div> _______________________________________________ Marketing mailing list Marketing@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/marketing </body> </html>
