Hi all! I am deeply impressed by the profund discussions about OLPC. When I look at the equiment of an ordinary school in Germany, it would be nice if UNESCO would give all pupils a low cost notebook with python installed to have a decent possibility to learn programming. ;-)
A week ago I proposed in a local python group (Python User Group Cologne) to organize a Python Camp for Kids. It is not very clear what this will be, but I think it could be a kind of weekend course with living in a youth hostel or tents or just a intense course during two afternoons. The idea was born out of private experience. I cannot find a institution, where my son could improve his programming skills after the first steps. School just sucks. And I am not a programmer. Does anybody here ever organized such an event and can provide a checklist or some hints how to organize it?
