Feedback for resources to encourage girls and young women to code

[kirschner]

Hello pyladies,

I wrote the book "Ada&Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream" which I hope is a small contribution to encourage children in general and girls and young women in particular to get active in programming. The book is licensed under Creative Commons BY-SA, so it can be shared and adopted to your needs.
During the last months I did several readings of the German book in schools, public libraries, conferences and other events -- and the reaction by the kids (most of the time between 6 and 10) was very encouraging. So we have now created templates for other people who want to read the book to others and encourage children and young adults to code (or who want to evaluate if this is a good tool for their organisation):

• PDF presentation slides
• Full text of the books with markers for when to turn pages
• and all of that for now in English, German, Italian, and Ukrainian.

The idea is to further improve the resources and to create further material for class room use or other educational use cases (of which many should be possible due to the CC licensing). But in order to be effective with that, I would like to get some feedback from organisations and people who have more experience in this field, like you.

Please let me know if you could help with that. If you are interested I would also be happy to provide a review copy for you.

Thank you for your work,
Matthias
