Looking for Grassroots Teaching Groups
December 18th, 2011
I’m looking for grassroots organizations that are trying to teach webcraft and programming to free-range (non-classroom) learners of all ages. So far, I know of:
- Black Girls Code
- CodeNow
- Girl Develp IT
- Hackasaurus
- Ladies Learning Code
- Boston Python Workshop
- PyLadies
- PyStar
- RailsBridge
- School of Webcraft
- Web Start Women
I’d be grateful for pointers (and introductions) to others.
I don’t know if it’s “free-range” enough for you, but they might have some programs of that sort. Or you might connect to programs they support: http://anitaborg.org/
Philip Greenspun runs “Relational Database Management System and Internet application programming” as part of MIT’s IAP:

It’s free and open to the public.
Bootstrap. I’ve just started it with my 11 year old and she’s pushing me for more lessons:
