[Ggcs-presentations] Fw: February GGCS General Meeting

[bcbloch at juno.com]

Barb- I thought I sent the Presentations Committee a message saying Ivan could do the Feb. meeting for us on Coding, and sent him the message below. In my message to Presentations, I also listed some topics on coding (see message to Ivan) and asked for input on whether they liked the list or had other topics they'd like covered. The only reply I got from Presentation was from Mike Hancock, who said he was especially interested in how the coding class material was applied (used).

Ivan...Presentations Committee would be delighted to have you come for the February 27th General Meeting (dinner with us beforehand) and talk about Coding. I sent the Committee the suggested topics to cover and asked for their input.  So far only 1 reply, who was especially interested in how they apply the things they learn. Feel free to let me know what you would or would not like to cover and any other topics you would like to add. It'll be great to have you with us again. Also, Kathy Hunsicker said something about the Library's having a Children's librarian who organizes the Teen Program.  Is it correct that she runs or started a Coding for Girls program there?  Do you want to have her come too?  No pressure to do so, just wondering. Babette Topics on Coding I thought of:What are the kids learning in all these "coding" classes and programs
What should adults know about coding to understand it.- are there classes or resources for adult to learn something about coding? (Ivan has already told me he could cover this one).
How can you apply what you learn in a coding class
Is coding the same as programming
WHAT DO YOU WANT HIM TO COVER AND SHOULD WE IGNORE ANY OF THE ABOVE?
