Games?

[usernamenumber]

This one probably shouldn't be high on the priority list, but in previous meetings we've talked about the fact that if one of our target audiences is people living in refugee camps, then maybe education isn't the only thing we can offer. A lot of people end up spending a lot of time in camps. They get stuck there, and it's sad and frustrating. So maybe just being able to do something fun and distracting would be a worthy offering.

It remains to be seen whether the hardware can handle it or not, but it might be fun to see whether any good browser-based games or emulators could work.

One low-impact option might be text-based games and tools for making them, like Twine.

There are also an increasing number of web-based emulators that can play old public domain games. It's all Javascript, so the work would mostly be done on client devices.
