Education:
Costa Rica has been a pioneer in the field of linking the use of
computers with the process of learning. Collaborative efforts between
the Fundación Omar Dengo in Costa Rica, and the Media Laboratory at MIT,
have been highly successful and provide today a wealth of experience to
be tapped. The methodology learned in these efforts, which in the past
has been “exported” to other countries, would constitute the backbone of
the program in this field.
The computer lab would be utilized by grammar school and high school
students during class hours, and would be open to community use during
the rest of the time. In addition, a digital library (with an enormous
base of resource material) is contemplated, to enhance the educational
experience.
