9th graders learn Linux for the environment!

Last week in #Hannover, #KDEEco joined Akademie der Spiele, an event for 200+ students with 20+ career/cultural workshops.

Students salvaged dozens of computers with #OpenSource #FreeSoftware.

They learned about the #environmental costs of #eWaste and device production.

They presented their work to peers and teachers!

Some even played games🚀

We're proud of our students - congrats for all you achieved in only 5 days!

This is such a good idea. Are there teaching materials available?

[-] be4foss@floss.social 7 points 3 months ago

@hecklerundkochli Thank you! There are not many materials yet as the Opt Green project is still in the beginning stages.

All materials will be collected at the project repository: https://invent.kde.org/teams/eco/opt-green/.

And eventually they will be included in a how-to e-book for GNU/Linux installations from an environmental perspective.

We will continue to post updates in the project, so keep an eye here for news 🙂
