I have been getting revved up about the whole (Lack Of) coding in schools thing in Aus. Two of my kids go to great schools (Sydney Girls and Sydney Grammar) and I am shocked that there are no coding classes being taught (Sydney Girls does not even have a computer club). Add to it stuff like this by Tony Abbott
http://www.smh.com.au/national/-ghbdal.html and it really fuels the flames... Fortunately i have discovered a number of local initiatives for kids coding, robotics, etc in Sydney and have started to put together a resource list. It is currently VERY raw as i just hacked it together, but I'd really appreciate any input if you know of either: 1) workshops or courses taught avaialble to teach primary or high school kids, or 2) websites that offer free (or very cheap) coding tutorials/ coures https://docs.google.com/document/d/12VpUsQLlUEPwpmOxqXB1lHarruZeuZA8JRYeK0g5CQc/edit?usp=sharing thanks for your input! -- Michael Zimmerman mikezim25 at gmail.com <mikezi...@gmail.com> www.linkedin.com/in/mikezim +61 449 207 629 (AUS) -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
