Installation Instructions
Hello and welcome to the Knowledge Box! The Knowledge Box is a wireless hotspot wifi device that contains a snapshot of a select set of educational materials. It is based on the “Rachel PI” - which is the brainchild of World Possible ( http://worldpossible.org ). Global Horizons ( https://www.globalhz.org/ ) distributes and supports the Knowledge Box as part of the GHI Field Technology project.
A large selection games and research content can be found at http://10.10.10.10 once the Knowledge Box is powered up and a PC, laptop or mobile device connects to the ‘KB-01’ WIFI hotspot. A full list of available educational modules the Knowledge Box offers can be found at http://oer2go.org.

1) Place the Knowledge Box in a location that is away from sunlight and water
2) Connect the Knowledge Box to a 2 Amp 5 volt micro-USB power supply using a quality power cord
