Babette: 
My SC notes say Feb GM is going to be about online databases, with Ivan participating?

Subject: [Ggcs-presentations] Possible February GM 

We talked about trying to establish a "theme" in our GM's that outreaches to parents of school and HS age kids. 
With that in mind, I think that something on Coding would be of interest to them, and even maybe to our regular over-aged membership. Kids all over are taking coding classes, and frankly I don't know the difference between coding and programming, what they learn, what it prepares them to do, etc. 



Something like "Demystifying Coding - What are your kids and grand kids doing in those classes, and can you learn to code-talk to them about it?" 
The only person I know right now who is conversant in coding is Ivan Silva at the Tiburon Library -he runs their program and classes on coding. 
I was at the library today for another meeting and talked to him about it and he says he could do the meeting and would be available for February. In fact he would like the idea of Feb. meeting, because it would give him time to plan it out. 
How does this sound to you folks and should I go ahead with this?
