[sudo-discuss] sudo-discuss Digest, Vol 4, Issue 36

Tue Feb 5 15:00:14 PST 2013

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 bugs<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr9zi5tSsi4>
