Hello Anne, I'm Omar, one of Syn/Hak's members, I brought up your email in yesterday's meeting and we love the idea of doing this, one of the ideas we toyed with in the past was making a portable mini hackerspace kit that we can take with us to events. As a plus, the summer of 2014 is far enough in the future that it gives us time to identify presenters, make gadgets, and come up with safe activities for geek youth. We'll definitely keep this summer program in a list of events we want to participate in.
Thank you, Omar Rassi On Tue, Nov 5, 2013 at 1:08 PM, Anne Rhodes <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > My name is Anne Rhodes and I am a teen librarian in Mansfield, OH.
