[Baypiggies] Baypiggies Digest, Vol 124, Issue 20

[Peter Farrell]

Hi, Glen,

Great to hear about the turnout last night. Sorry to have missed it!

I'm putting on a Python-on-the-Raspberry-Pi meetup tomorrow evening in San
Mateo because I'm still sold on the Pi's original mission: to learn
programming. There are 40 people who have RSVP'd that they're coming to
learn.

I'd love to come to a Piggies talk and spread the word about getting Python
in math and science classrooms. I know I've spoken before, but this time
won't be about me and my journey but about the dire need for real
programming in the classroom. I promise to bring the 'Wow!" factor with the
applications of math and science in games, cryptography, 3D graphics and
music using Python.

Sorry for the cross-email but I'm not sure my posts to Piggies are being
received.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
