A practical guide to home automation using open source tools. 6 open source tools for staying organized. An introduction to programming with Bash. A guide to building a video game with Python. Minor edits were made by WMF staff to clarify a few terms for the Wikimedia blog. It was originally published on Hiara, a blog about empowering girls. This blog post is part of a series about Offline Wikipedia. Janet Chapman, Communications Manager, Tanzania Development Trust If you would like to know more, or have an tablet or laptop you’d like to donate to a good cause, please email me at j.chapman. You can follow the progress of this project, and the school in general, on their Facebook Page. I’ve stayed in regular contact with the school via WhatsApp, and they tell me the students are very excited to have access to all this new content. “Now we are in the 21st century”, added a teacher. “It’s like a miracle”, said the board chair. I demonstrated this to the teachers and school board on 5 tablets and a couple smart phones I brought as a donation. A Wi-Fi stick in the Raspberry Pi allows any nearby smartphone, tablet or laptop to access all this content. This includes the Wikipedia for Schools edition, 2,000 math and science videos from Khan Academy, and 800 classic books and various health resources.
So I brought them a credit card-sized Raspberry Pi computer, powered by an external battery, with a 32GB SD card - and content downloaded from World Possible. When I visited the school in September 2014, the dynamic headteacher, Steve Mihambo, told me about his dream of a computer room - once they had power. The dedication of its headteacher and staff have led to the best results of any government school in the district. The school has few text books or resources - and a dire shortage of math and science teachers. This can be a challenge when your parents are subsistence farmers. But no money was provided for this: funds are expected to come from parent contributions alone. The Tanzanian government has decreed that every secondary school must have science laboratories by the end of February. A Raspberry Pi serves Wikipedia via Wi-Fi to nearby phones or computers, using RACHEL server software.
