This is cool. We are expecting some kids and young adults (8-18 years old) to show up for the Seattle Code Camp. At the Portland Code Camp there were a number of young ones attending the sessions. This is a great opportunity to show your tech oriented children the world of programming. Real programming, not that stuff you learn in junior high school classes.
Think about the opportunity here,
- a full blown developer conference
- priced for free,
- in your local area
- open to children as well as adults
I was astounded today to see that we will have an 10 year old presenter (Alan Stagner) at the Code Camp. The session is on Kids Programming Language (KPL). He is presenting with his father, a very cool idea indeed. http://pacwest.ms/codecamp/sea/1/presenters.html
Bring your own kids
Do you know a youngster close by that would like to learn more about the art, craft and profession of software programming. Bring them to the Seattle Code Camp. It's not too late to sign up.
