[libreplanet-discuss] Suggestions for a coding club that is just starting?

[Pen-Yuan Hsing]

Hello,

First of all, thanks everyone for your help several weeks ago on the 
Freeing of a scientific software I mentioned here. I have a couple 
follow up questions which I plan to post in another message, but for now 
there is another issue.

I learned that a teacher in a secondary school in my town is starting a 
coding club for their students (probably teenagers), and they're looking 
for information or other direct support regarding how to start it. Since 
this coding club is just starting, I think this is a great opportunity 
to include in their agenda the concept of Free Software.

I am not an active coder myself, but care a lot about Free Software, and 
I want to do what I can to make sure this club goes in the "right 
direction". However, I have zero experience doing this. Do folks here 
have ideas, or better yet links to existing 
websites/information/teaching plans that are appropriate for this? I 
plan to email the lead teacher soon about the important of Free Software 
in their club, and would appreciate anything you can provide!! I think 
the more we can give the teacher the better. Thanks!!
