I was thinking more about teaching programming to younger kids, perhaps
using something like Logo. However, I don't think I'd really be able to
commit any significant amount of time at this point, so I was really
looking to see if anybody else was already doing it and help out a
couple times per month. I might check out the PC Garage sometime, though..
Thanks,
Wes
