This document discusses the importance of storytelling for learning and development. It describes how stories are structured through combinations of elements like events that are dependent on each other. Stories can be told through various mediums to reflect on experiences, communicate ideas, and simulate learning concepts. The document recommends storytelling exercises on the XO laptop to document life experiences and learning moments. It outlines benefits of cultivating the storytelling habit such as reflection, communication, learning through simulation, and developing creativity. It concludes with a challenge to create an animated story in Scratch about a character trying to accomplish a task with help overcoming obstacles.Power on the XO
Power on the XOOne Laptop per Child
油
The One Laptop per Child project faces challenges supplying power in deployments, especially where power grids are lacking or unreliable. The laptop uses between 4-9 watts while running and charges fully in about 2 hours using various solar panel options of 5, 7, or 10 watts. Alternative power sources like hand cranks are not viable yet. A multi-battery charger can charge up to 15 batteries in 2 hours from a 300 watt AC or 120 watt DC source. Power management features allow the laptop to run for over 14 hours on a single charge during normal use.Country Technical Support

As AI reshapes expectations in retail and B2B commerce, organizations are recognizing a critical reality: meaningful AI outcomes depend on well-structured, adaptable infrastructure. In this session, Seth Earley is joined by Phil Ryan - AI strategist, search technologist, and founder of Glass Leopard Technologies - for a candid conversation on what it truly means to engineer systems for scale, agility, and intelligence.
Phil draws on more than two decades of experience leading search and AI initiatives for enterprise organizations. Together, he and Seth explore the challenges businesses face when legacy architectures limit personalization, agility, and real-time decisioning - and what needs to change to support agentic technologies and next-best-action capabilities.
Key themes from the webinar include:
Composability as a prerequisite for AI油- Why modular, loosely coupled systems are essential for adapting to rapid innovation and evolving business needs
Search and relevance as foundational to AI油- How techniques honed-in enterprise search have laid the groundwork for more responsive and intelligent customer experiences
From MDM and CDP to agentic systems油- How data platforms are evolving to support richer customer context and dynamic orchestration
Engineering for business alignment油- Why successful AI programs require architectural decisions grounded in measurable outcomes
The conversation is practical and forward-looking, connecting deep technical understanding with real-world business needs. Whether youre modernizing your commerce stack or exploring how AI can enhance product discovery, personalization, or customer journeys, this session provides a clear-eyed view of the capabilities, constraints, and priorities that matter most.Lessons Learned from Developing Secure AI Workflows.pdf

Let's talk about our history. How we started the project with a small vector database of less than 2 million records. Later, we received a request for +100 million records, then another +100... And so gradually we reached almost 1 billion. Standard tools were quickly running out of steam - we were running into performance, index size, and very limited resources. After a long series of trials and errors, we built our own low-cost cluster, which today stably processes thousands of queries to more than 1B vectors.Techniques for Automatic Device Identification and Network Assignment.pdf
