Hi Devoxx4kids community,

I am Danielle AKINI from Cameroon ( Central AFRICA ). I am interested to setting up a Devoxx4kids chapter here in Cameroon.

I have allready launched a Tech training center for kids. Starting on December, we made a certain number of amazing activities with kids. 

Please, a look on our website  (Sory, it is in french ) . For more pictures, visit our Facebook page or our twitter account .

I have take the time to find the application form in the website, but nothing.

Hope I will get help here :)

Thank you lovely family.

Hi

I read the requirements and the manifesto too and I want to start a chapter in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

What I have to do next?

Hi Daniel,

Great that you want to start a chapter, it's great fun ;-)

Here are a few things you'll need to consider:

- find a venue: I like to pick one already equipped with computers, such as a school,a university, ...

- find co-animators and helpers: from my experience approximately 1 co-animator for 5 children

- select a date: saturdays work fine

- select your workshops: depending on what you have, your budget, there are plenty of choices, even with zero budget: scratch, codecombat, minecraft modding, ...

- craft a page announcing the event + registration mechanism (can be a simple email, or eventbrite, ...). I use jotform integrated with a google spreadsheet.

- promote the event

In all cases, start small (small number of workshops, small number of childen, ...), then grow from there over time.

Hope this helps to get started.

Cheers,

Stephane

Hi Stephane

Thank you for advices!

I already teach an after schoiol class , robotics and Minecraft Python programming.

In the beginning I want to focus my Devoxx4kids chapter on Robotics (lego and arduino).

Our first activity will be on Ftiday, 29 january.

Do you think it's ok?

Regards

Daniel

Mindstorms are often very much appreciated by the children.

On the other hand, I've found Arduino a bit more tough to grasp for the kids, but that is the case for Minecraft too, and still it can work well too.

As of the date, it depends on your target audience, some dates and times of the day will work better than others.

Are you planning an after school event?

BTW I'll be holding a Devoxx4Kids in Liege, Belgium, on Saturday 30 January ;-)

Cheers,

Stephane
