The programme will be finalized by them over the weekend, but a rough
outline might look like "the kids can learn how to solder, how to
control Lego robots, how to program an Arduino (and presumably make
something they soldered blink), and do some work on a Debian-based
MATE desktop".
It's kids teaching other kids (with adult supervision), and the goal
is to both get kids interested in tech and to create new communities &
friendships between those kids.
The short version is: If I had a child which fit into the age bracket,
I would try _very_ hard to get them a slot.
