[Swansea Hackspace] Teaching Children to Code

[Richard Morgan]

OK, here's where I've got so far with this, comments, suggestions,
hacks, tweaks all welcome.
- Thanks Sharon

ToDo:

Decide on attendee limit (if any) some activities are going to involve
getting up and moving around.
- would depend on the duration, age-range and if parents are coming too

Debate the issue of ticket price. Should there be one to benefit the
Hackspace.? Should it be free.?
- Should not be free but could be 'donate' on the day expectation set, as a
'taster' to get numbers through the door for the first one. We want to
build an on-going series of these if we can manage it...

Should it be drop-off or parental supervision for U16.? We're not
running a creche but I'm a STEMnet Ambassador so it could be drop-off.
- I would recommend having parents there too, the objective is to learn
code not riot-control with a group of kids that don't know each other (or
am I being a pessimist!)

Volunteers:

Thank you Tom for already volunteering to help deliver this. - Thanks Tom

Would anyone else like to take the opportunity to be involved with
this.? (STEMnet registration NOT req'd).
- I would be happy to attend and helpout (assuming I'm around in South
Wales on the date) and will bring Max (8yrs old) along too
