Recently during my stint as a Teach For India Fellow, I have been building Community Computers for use at my school. These involve creating an easy to carry box with projector, computer, speakers and wirless keyboard/mouse all stuffed in. After building one based around Intel NUC PC  I decided to think of ways of decreasing cost of the Community Computers and make it more user friendly for our not so tech savvy teachers. Towards that, I thought of using an old non-HDMI VGA projector paired with a Single Board Computer APC 8750 which runs Android OS and has a VGA video output which makes pairing with an old projector possible.. If you think about it, a computer that runs Android would be more successful with teachers as compared to a Windows based PC. Teachers now days have access to smart phone so that are already comfortable with using Android. If you install appropriate apps on an Android based community computer, they can play all kind of content - videos, photos, PDFs etc. Also

NOTE: Here is  the list  of various other Community Computers that I built using various other projectors and single board computers over the few months of my fellowship. As I began my Teach For India fellowship, I got inspired by the K-Yan and decided to build my own community computer for my own class of 48 7th graders. I tried building one using a Raspberry Pi , but the results left much to be desired (Couldn't install Prezi, wasn't powerful enough, video player required commands to operate, no internal storage etc). That's when I came across Intel's Next Unit of Computing (NUC) PCs. These are small form factor PCs built for portable applications like interactive kiosks etc. Since these PCs only have and HDMI output, I would need an HDMI capable projector. So I asked my friends for donations and went shopping and bought these: BenQ MS521p  [Cheapest HDMI Projector] INR 30,000 Intel DN2820FYKH  [NUC PC] INR 9,340 8GB Low Voltage 1.35V SODIMM DDR3 RAM Kingst
