Agenda for Dojo

[juan-afc-ds]

I imagine starting out with a presentation that includes the following: - What a CoderDojo is - Presentation of the team - Brief Programming 101 (hopefully with some cool examples/videos to get the kids motivated) I think the whole thing should be simultaneously translated from english to the refugees' languages or maybe directly in those languages by some programmers whose mother tongue is one of them. Any one know arabic, russian, french, turkish, kurdish, urdu programmers? A lebanese friend of mine already agreed to help in translation (he's not a programmer, though) Then we'll match kids based on age and experience (I wouldn't find it that odd if some teenagers already have some basics) to the tutors who like working with a specific age or experience group. The tutors would proceed to ask the kids what they would like to do, letting their imagination run wild. It is the tutor's task to help the child put some landing gear on those ideas, so that the actual programming can take place. If they are shy, suggesting making a game almost always does the trick ;) After that a one to one intro on the specific language to be used would be given so that they can start working. Then there would be free time to work, where we would just supervise and answer questions, should they arise. At the end we'll maybe have one or two that can present what they did in the last hours and can present it to the group.

I'm asking myself, if it would be better to use the github projects wiki to deal with some of those things, instead of the issue tracker?

@Michael Can you create the first pages of the wiki with the things you mean so we can compare?
