We got together to talk about teaching kids to code. Here are the raw notes with links to the technology and organizations we talked about. It looks like CoderDojo is an organization worth looking into to. It might be a good way to scale the organizational parts of Little Hackers, and Matthew Swift really loved the idea behind our Github Repo as a way to aggregate curriculum. We are already looking forward to organizing another BoF at NYC Camp! The raw notes from the BoF are below:
