Subject: OpenUK Kids Camp and MiniMu Glove Kit Giveaway

   Hey

OpenUK have 3000 open sourced MiniMu glove kits to giveaway across the
UK, to allow kids with a micro:bit to do the OpenUK kids Camp. The kits
have been paid for by Huawei and Andrew Katz helped MiMu to open source
the MiniMu glove as part of this process.

The opensourced kits have both been created for us as a special edition
and will be distributed by our partner Pimoroni.

The OpenUK Kids Camp teaches digital skills through a 10 lesson course
with an ezine accompanying each lesson and will be shared creative
commons over 3 weeks in August.

Each episode is a fun, animated episode that teaches digital skills and
offers activities for kids to participate in and each has one minute
about an aspect of open source.

The giveaway is only in the UK, but the Digital Kids Camp will not be
restricted to the UK and we ar talking to other organisations about the
possibility of translating it.

Episode 1 is narrated by Imogen Heap and she explains what open source is.
