Code Club

There is a movement worldwide to teach children how to write software programs. In the United Kingdom there is an organization called Code Club (codeclub.org.uk) where they show students how to make computer games, animations and websites. It is a nationwide network of free volunteer-led after-school coding clubs for children aged 9-11. We can have a similar project here, where we make agreements with schools, and connect them to volunteers who would like to teach coding there.

Tarek! Stick to the subject: We want an active python community. Everything else is out of our scope!

Please focus for our subject, having a platform for "Python Egypt" with several subjects splitt in.

Let me elaborate, what I mentioned above is teaching Python in schools

Sounds like a real good application of open source for a good cause, especially kids computer education. In my NGO we are running a similar program, and I believe that building a platform for it and sharing it with all other NGOs as well as volunteers will be very promising and will save a lot of time and efforts for any other NGO/school welling to start a similar program.

Can't agree more.
