The club started 2 weeks ago and we have 13 children fron the 3rd grade (9-year olds), they are progressing nicely and surprisingly the majority is girls!
Wow, that's even better news! As you write "surprisingly", does that mean you won't tell us the secret how you did that?
The goal was to reach to children young enough that they haven't yet "learned" the stereotypic role models that boys to tech and girls don't. It was suprisingly easy to achieve. In the group there is no trace of a sentiment that tech stuff or coding would be a boy thing.
Stereotypes aside, are there any recommendations about how to communicate with children about the benefits of Free Software?
