Looking forward to seeing more kids join us to learn programming.

Since there aren't many kids attending the meetings, the Austin Coderdojo meetings have been cancelled.

That is very disappointing.

Thank you for your effort in putting it together.

I had the Fall meeting dates that you posted in July on my calendar, but there have been no further posts so I didn't know if they were happening or not. 

It's an almost 30 minute drive for us, so even though it was on my calendar, I didn't want to go all the way up there unless I was certain it was happening.

I started a chess club at my son's school where we meet weekly.  If I don't send some type of email reminder, I get parents emailing me asking if it's still happening.

So, even though it sounds like Coder DoJo was happening regularly, maybe reminder posts to the Google Group would have boosted attendance.  

The Hour of Code is this week-- there's an event today at my son's school (Becker).  There could be greater momentum and more interest now.

If you decide to re-start the group, please contact me.  I would be happy to reach out to local schools to see if kids are interested, or be the person to send out the reminder emails.

Cheers,

Katharina

I would love to continue if we can have more mentors. That way the children can have the benefit of interacting with others in this field of work.
