Kids Programme

Kids Programme

A kids programme for primary school aged children will embrace all that's going on at Software Freedom Day, giving them the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities - taking the first steps into programming at the installfest, testing OLPC laptops at the hackfest, a barcamp brainstorming session about where they think the future of computing is going, and more! Games, prizes and a treasure hunt included.

As part of the kids programme Nat Torkington will be running an hour long 'Introduction to programming' session for parents and kids as part of the installfest. We will have some computers that kids can use during the day. If you do decide to bring you laptops, parents, it would be great if you can prepare for the session by downloading scratch from http://scratch.mit.edu before you come along.

If you have any questions about the kids programme please contact Jayne Wallis.
