9th graders learn Linux for the environment!

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!

@be4foss @kde That's awesome to see children learning Linux and FOSS. When I was growing up it was all Windows in education. Only in universities did they introduce what Linux is

When I was growing up it was all Macs due to their scholastic program.

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

Those faces are not properly blurred. It can be reversed with some effort and it won't stop people from potentially recognizing them.

Just something to keep in mind. Keep up the good work

The Steam handle is clearly visible, too.

Realised after reading this, that they had opened Steam. And here I was thinking it was something Academic (it was Akademic).

So, Undertale types out "Linux", for some reason?

Clearly might be a stretch

However, it still should be cleaned

Perhaps a whiteout with just the silhouette? (to make them look like human faces)

Or maybe just clone stamp their hair all over the face 😈

If this image were on the newspaper 10 years ago, I would be amazed at the image quality. But that's not the point. I would think they were being treated as criminals for using Linux (blurry faces and all).

BitBurner should be a voluntary homework assignment.
