Teaching kids to code 2.0
summary
Summary of concrete outcomes and tools rather than promises: a volunteer-run CoderDojo network is turned into a local nonprofit CoderLevelUp that runs free clubs for ages 7–17 with typical attendance of 5–24 kids per session, uses specific tools like CodeCombat, Python turtle and web HTML/CSS via Raspberry Pi and Trinket, and brings microcontrollers such as Circuit Playground Express. Resources and 200+ project tutorials are reused not re-made, mentors and venues are recruited, and an open space discussion happens tomorrow at 11:00.
