Sounds like what they are doing is great. I know AMT has(had?) Hacker Scouts. And Sudo Room at one time had some kid programs. This seems to be a growing idea, that "hacker spaces" can be a way to help counter our failed public school system. While I don't think its the only solution. Its a good start. Anything that gets kids out of fucked up schools and into spaces that are actually focused on learning, creating, and challenging the status quo gets a thumbs up from me.
In this last East bay express there was an article "Hacking local in Hayward" about a new hackerspaces Hayhackers. The article emphasizes their young education aspects. Then a quote from Christina Depulta on other East bay hackerspaces :
"they're either young singles or techies and software engineers or mothers with children. We wanted to have a space for everybody. "
Do you think this is a valid rubric for a hackerspace's demographic, and does sudo fit into one category? I wonder if having that kind of all inclusive space is even a fantasy holy grail?
Just pondering the current state of our sudo-populous as we've now come to be a reference point for new hackerspaces to judge themselves by.
