Internet access is impossible for almost 4 billion people in the world, and even having a standard computer is very complicated for many of them.
OfflinePedia is a volunteering and social action project aiming to redesign access to encyclopedic and academic content. Tons of freely available content are made available from the different branches of the Wikimedia project for vulnerable rural communities. In order to bring this content to remote areas, where there is no internet connection nor the possibility of using traditional computers an open hardware solution is proposed. A computer, based on Raspberry Pi and Kiwix, has been developed at low cost and with recycled components, such as CRT televisions, containing fully downloaded Wikipedia versions, hundreds books from Project Gutenberg, didactic simulations from PheT and varied academic content accessible without the internet.
