A friend asked about programs suitable for a 10 year old and a 14 year old girl in the Portland area.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I came up with:<\/p>\n

\n

As far as things that are already underway: http:\/\/www.chicktech.org\/<\/a> has the most stuff for the 14-year-old<\/p>\n

Looks like it happened in January: http:\/\/www.chicktech.org\/participants\/workshops\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Next there’s FreeGeek: http:\/\/www.freegeek.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Their “adoption” program is interesting because you learn how to put together your own computer. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n

There’s online programming courses offered through ORVED: http:\/\/www.orved.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What did I miss?<\/p>\n
