Both DIY.org & those toothbrush bugs are amazing! And the Hacker Scouts
program is inspirational.
Sudo Kids should really have a bug making day! (imagine, making bugs
instead of squashing them in QA :)
Currently sudo kids are working with the Radio learning how to DJ and
working with clay. More programs and activities to come.
There is the nucleus of a kids library in the common area. So If anyone has
age appropriate books esp with a science/maker slant bring them in.
Anyone Want to design a badge for SudoKids Radio or Clay? Ryan?
Sudo Kids happens weekly on Tuesday nights. We generally have dinner around
5 and start at 6. We wrap up around 8 and end the meeting by shaking hands.
See you there,
Ray

I actually just started working with diy.org to build
out tools for kids
to learn to program. at least 3 of the people who work at diy live in
oakland. if we wanted to do some events for kids at sudoroom i'm sure I
could get some resources to help facilitate.
this last weekend some of the other diy'ers did a workshop in SF and
taught kids how to make toothbrush

Check out DIY.org. Basically there are skills badges that kids earn by
photographing there work and adding it to there profile. There are great
instructationals for inspiration to satisfy the requirements for each badge.

Hey people!
During Oakland Wiki's hackerspaces-themed editathon last Sunday, I worked
on the Ace Monster page, and through that discovered "Hacker Scouts", an
amazing mentorship program for young people interested in hacking stuff.
Today while lurking Ace Monster's discuss listserv, I ran into a great
convo on it. If you are interested in developing a youth engagement program
at Sudo Room, these people would definitely be great allies and provide
good solid insight. There already seems to be a collaboration going between
them and Mothership Hackermoms.
(Message 10 is quite beautiful.)

electronic mechanical contraptions, writes computer programs, and
builds/fixes computers.His project, the TARDIS tesla is very cool and
ingenious in it's design and entertainment capa
