To the 2:30 section representin' SEEK, keep playing and loving and being great with each other all the way to graduation - NO JOKIN!! No one left behind! This is your greatest opportunity to shine beyond anything you've known before. But it takes 4 years!! Come on!
To the 4:10 section, I learned SO MUCH from you about other countries that I never had known. Taiwan, Albania, Serbia, Bangladesh, and Brooklyn much much more!! Your group presentations rocked my world!! And your listening to one another -- priceless!
Special thanks to you! Yes you! who is reading this. Without you, none of what happened was possible. Get that!!
The ONE LAPTOP PER CLASS video will be edited by Jeffrey from the 2:30 section.
What we are up is launching a yearly campaign called ONE LAPTOP PER CLASS where each Baruch class (700+) will be asked to by a $199 laptop. We already raised $199 + $280 from our two sections alone!! And we haven't collected all the donations yet.

If each student and faculty of each class participates the cost is less than $10 per person for a class size of 20 - 100. We are doing the final edits on a viral video to entice other colleges and universities to join us by Dec 31st this year and to create buzz for next.
We just started finals today and we have already raised the funds for at least 2 laptops from both sections. The viral video is based on the Mastercard priceless commercial ads + Mike Wesch's Students Today videos. It will be launched in a day or two to catch the Dec 31 deadline for this year's OLPC.com campaign.

In this multi-award-winning documentary, fifteen-year-old Darius Weems and eleven of his best friends set off across America with the ultimate goal of getting his wheelchair customized on MTV’s Pimp My Ride. The result is a rarely seen testament to the explosive idealism of today’s youth, as well as a vivid portrayal of adventure, of brotherhood, and of the character and strength it takes to shed light on an uncertain future.
Not only does Darius Weems bravely face his own inevitable fate with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), but through his unflinching humor and his extraordinary laugh, he sparks a revolution in the lives of everyone who crosses–and then shares–his courageous path.

I think its great what we are doing and i thought that the video looked really good. And by working on this for only a little while we already have two laptops. thats pretty great. i am sure we will have more. We should continue this every year.
yeah i agree with Ivana too. The Video really looks very good. I also feel that we will make more money that we expect. And I feel so proud that we have a such big project right now within this class, and we are participating now. This is a big and all new challenge and chance for us. This project would help to improve the education there, so as Ivana stated: we should continue this every year. I had used paypal to donate the money, and it's really very easy and convenience to use.
