In Peru, the current level in terms of technological knowledge and education is unsatisfactory and is perceived as deficient. However, this is much more worrisome in rural areas or far from the country, where they do not even have all the basic services that an average citizen would have. Given the previous situation, the Ministry of Education implemented the “One Laptop Per Child” program, which consists of making each student from 6 to 12 years of credit an XO laptop. These are characterized by having a pedagogical approach in terms of enhancing the cognitive abilities of children. Then, the presented project seeks to reinforce the curiosity of the children using the 800 thousand XO distributed by the government, using these as a complement to school activities, thus helping the teacher's performance. In this way, it is planned that the students and teachers adapt to the use of technology.
