Python for the Class of 2023
summary
Teacher describes converting community invites into classroom programs using Raspberry Pi, running a Young Coders conference that reaches students (50% on free/reduced lunch) and distributes working Pis to every child at end of May. Examples: Ladies Hack Day drew nonprogrammers into coding, a robotics team wins district slots at BEST after 120+ volunteer hours, a civic hack project wins first place and ships JS Reveal code to GitHub, and simple tutor matches and fed lunches make teacher training actually work.
