Description
Today, access to the Internet remains impossible for almost 4 billion people in the world, and even having a standard computer is very complicated for many. OfflinePedia is a volunteer and social action project that aims to redefine access to the encyclopaedic and academic content available in the different branches of the Wikimedia project for rural communities.
For this purpose, we bring academic content to remote areas where there is no internet connection or the possibility for using traditional computers. A computer, based on Raspberry Pi and Kiwix, has been developed at low cost and with recycled components, such as CRT televisions, containing the fully downloaded Wikipedia, hundreds of Project Gutenberg world literature books, didactic simulations and varied academic content accessible without the internet.
