    Right now most people, almost
    two thirds of humans on Earth
  • 0:05 - 0:06
    are not on the Internet
  • 0:07 - 0:10
    And when access is available, it's
    generally expensive and slow.
  • 0:11 - 0:15
    That means getting the latest educational
    material to majority of children
  • 0:15 - 0:17
    at schools around the world is very
    difficult and costly.
  • 0:18 - 0:22
    Often, materials are either out of date,
    or not available at all.
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    That's why Learning Equality
    created KA Lite:
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    to bring high quality educational
    materials like Khan Academy
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    to places that the Internet
    does not reach.
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    Devices or SD cards loaded
    with KA Lite
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    can be carried in on foot and
    used totally offline.
  • 0:37 - 0:38
    But once it's there,
  • 0:38 - 0:41
    we need a way for content and updates
    to be distributed efficiently,
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    when there's not Internet,
    or bandwidth is limited.
  • 0:45 - 0:46
    To help solve this problem
    we are exited
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    to announce the partnership with Outernet,
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    and the release of exciting new perk
    in our campaign.
  • 0:53 - 0:54
    Thanks, Jamie!
  • 0:54 - 0:56
    We are thrilled to partner with
    Learning Equality
  • 0:57 - 1:01
    and create a version of Lighthouse that
    comes with KA Lite pre-installed.
  • 1:02 - 1:05
    We are calling it:
    KA Lighthouse!
  • 1:05 - 1:08
    Lighthouse works as a WiFi router
    mixed with a hard drive.
  • 1:08 - 1:12
    Any WiFi enabled device,
    like a smartphone, tablet or laptop,
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    can connect to Lighthouse and
    browse the content on it.
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    Like all of Khan Academy courseware
    on KA Lighthouse.
  • 1:18 - 1:21
    Pretty much in the middle of
    nowhere in Illinois,
  • 1:21 - 1:23
    we are going to bolt a satellite dish
    to a random tree,
  • 1:24 - 1:28
    and within a few minutes we gonna
    have a digital library up and running.
  • 1:29 - 1:33
    What makes Outernet special is when you
    plug Lighthouse into a satellite dish,
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    anywhere in the world, the Lighthouse
    hard drive downloads
  • 1:36 - 1:39
    new content from Outernet
    satellites in space.
  • 1:39 - 1:43
    New courses, new videos, new books...
    new anything.
  • 1:43 - 1:44
    All for free!
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    Outernet is designed to work
    where the Internet doesn't,
  • 1:47 - 1:52
    using the same satellite TV dishes found
    in even the most remote villages.
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    We are thrilled to support
    Learning Equality
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    in their creation of Kolibri,
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    and work to send even more
    educational content
  • 2:00 - 2:03
    to the most remote parts of the world.
  • 2:04 - 2:05
    Thank you Thane!
  • 2:05 - 2:09
    By donating to our Kolibri campaign and
    selecting the KA Lighthouse perk,
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    for yourself, or to bring to
    a community you know,
  • 2:12 - 2:16
    your support will help spread educational
    opportunities all around the world!
