A friend asked about programs suitable for a 10 year old and a 14 year old girl in the Portland area.
Here’s what I came up with:
As far as things that are already underway: http://www.chicktech.org/ has the most stuff for the 14-year-old
Looks like it happened in January: http://www.chicktech.org/participants/workshops/
Next there’s FreeGeek: http://www.freegeek.org/
http://www.freegeek.org/volunteer/
Their “adoption” program is interesting because you learn how to put together your own computer. Highly recommended.
There’s online programming courses offered through ORVED: http://www.orved.org/
What did I miss?
From twitter:
Saturday Academy has a variable calendar of classes which include robotics and programming — http://www.saturdayacademy.org
4-H Tech Wizards have robotics and media production in various places around the state — http://extension.oregonstate.edu/metro4h/techwizards
OMSI has several robotics and programming camps/classes — https://www.omsi.edu/camps-classes/classes-grades-6-8 ( I didn’t check other grades or the lab experiences
