He has held visiting faculty appointments at international universities, including the University of Tampere, and continues to serve on university research advisory boards and on occasion teaches at Hult and MIT Sloan business schools. Bender's book, Leaning to Change the World, on technology. learning, and social entrepreneurship was published in 2012.

  • Vik Olliver{:target="_blank"}
    • About: G'day. You've found Vik Olliver's user page. Vik is a longhair systems analyst who works for Catalyst IT Ltd. from his home and workshops in Waitakere, New Zealand. Vik's main ability is to find bugs, and to create useful add-ons... My two main abilities are finding bugs and creating useful add-ons and interfacing the OLPC to bits of hardware that the developing world may find useful. No, my three main ... er, I'll come back and do it again, shall I? When not working or playing with an XO, or called out by the fire brigade, Vik is probably fiddling with a RepRap 3D Printer - a machine that uses plastic to print 3D objects, including a set of its own parts if you want. At the moment it seems to be printing XO viewfinders, driven by an XO of course.
