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

[Raymond Lai]

Both DIY.org & those toothbrush bugs are amazing! And the Hacker Scouts
program is inspirational.

Sudo Kids should really have a bug making day! (imagine, making bugs
instead of squashing them in QA :)

Currently sudo kids are working with the Radio learning how to DJ and
working with clay. More programs and activities to come.

There is the nucleus of a kids library in the common area. So If anyone has
age appropriate books esp with a science/maker slant bring them in.

Anyone Want to design a badge for SudoKids Radio or Clay? Ryan?

Sudo Kids happens weekly on Tuesday nights. We generally have dinner around
5 and start at 6. We wrap up around 8 and end the meeting by shaking hands.

See you there,
Ray
