<div dir="ltr">Hello there,<div><br><div>For those who couldn't make it to last nights excellent talk from James Baster on OpenTechCalendar and therefore missed my plea!</div><div><br></div><div>I'm a first year HND Software Development student at Falkirk College, where I'm organising a Raspberry Pi Jam aimed at 7 to 12 year olds. It's on Monday 16th June, from 9.30 a.m (captive audience of kids, but awkward for grown-ups, sorry!). We're hoping we'll get lots of kids through the doors, and we've already got the support of Falkirk Council's IT Curriculum Development officer to drum up support.</div>
<div><br></div><div>What we need now is demonstrators with fun and interesting Pi projects, relevant for the age group, to show off and let the kids tinker with. We've got a couple of teams of students and lecturers lined up with projects, but we're aiming to have as many stands as possible around the edge of the (pretty big!) hall. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If you have a Pi and are able to come along to promote FOSS in particular and engaging, useful early IT education in general, then do please get in touch through <a href="mailto:adminstrator@falkirkpijam.co.uk">adminstrator@falkirkpijam.co.uk</a>. If you can't come along but want to help out in any other way (hardware, constructive advice, contacts etc...), I'd love to hear from you, too.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks for your time, and hopefully speak soon!</div><div><br></div><div>Neil Paterson.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div>
