Hello all, I recently joined this list, and I'm very excited to be a part of such a great resource. I'm working on a high school program at Girlstart to prepare and encourage girls for technical majors and careers. Girlstart is a non-profit in Austin, TX, committed to engaging girls in math, science, and technology. Next school year, we will introduce our high school girls to programming through creating educational games and activities with Python and Pygame. I will definitely be pinging this list for advice in the future!
