[Family] Ideas: programming toys & food

[Carmen Rietdijk]

Hi everyone!


I am Carmen (EsteVarda on the wiki). I attended MCH2022 together with my
daughter (now 10y) and we had an amazing time! So we are very much looking
forward to WHY 2025.


--- Programming toys ---

At MCH my daughter met people from the hackerspace Venlo who taught her to
program a Micro:Bit, which was one of the highlights of her stay at MCH. We
even bought a Micro:Bit afterwards :-) We also have a set of Lego Boost and
a set of Lego Mindstorms.

All these 'toys' are great for young nerds of different ages who love to
tinker, engineer and program. If we could organise a workshop with one or
more of these toys it would be awesome! Maybe we could contact hackerspaces
to ask if they could help us organise it, and/or provide a few kits. What
do you think?

I'd be happy to reach out to the hackerspaces, but I do not know anyone at
any hackerspace personally.

--- Food ---

Another highlight for my daughter was some delicious food: fresh
stroopwafels and fresh pancakes. Maybe some parents can organise a cooking
workshop to bake delicious treats. Or another idea is to create a campfire
and bake bread on sticks and roast marshmellows. Would this be achievable
vis-a-vis safety?
I'd be happy to take the lead, but I do not have contact information of
parents.


Kind regards,
Carmen / EsteVarda
