<div>This weekend at the PyTennessee conference I spoke with Amy
Flatt, Director of K-12 Initiatives for the Nashville
Technology Council. She is looking to develop a curriculum
for introducing school-age children to technology. She is
really looking for some hands-on type projects like a
microcontroller based Rube Goldberg machine, Minecraft,
robots, and programming in Scratch. I shared some of the
things we had done with community education and she was very
interested in collaborating with us.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am writing this to gauge the interest in helping out with
this initiative. At some point she wants to come visit us
from Atlanta.</div>
