Childrens project needs you!

Attention all paper modelers,
There has been a "call to action" put forth by the people at OLPC News (One Laptop Per Child).

They have been working on a design for a "periscope" for the laptops in 3rd world countries. Currently they need an outline that kids can make out of paper or old cerial boxes.

You can see their first prototype (video) and read the article here:

While Mike's rig was very alpha, it served its purpose. You can now use the XO laptop to take photographs of images behind the screen. Better yet, Mike has a call to action for crafty XO laptop users - develop a XO camera periscope pattern for children to cut out of cardboard. They can then glue on thin plastic mirror sheets and everyone can have their own periscope.

A BIG Thank You to all who can participate in this.
If you have any other paper models that might make things better for teaching education please feel free to contribute (ie. microscope for the laptop camera, etc).
