Been hanging out at local libraries to get a bit more aquainted with them.
Apparently one of them has a makerspace. Gonna see about running some workshops or something for teaching folks to program. The hardest part would be logistics since the library only really offers chromebooks for folks to borrow. :/
@queenslight Yeah, I'm thinking about changing the approach. Sadly Agregore stuff only really works where you own hardware.
I'm thinking teaching how to hack sites with chrome devtools might be more useful overall.
@mauve Could glitch.com be a solution?
@trevorflowers I suppose. But it still feels off for me because it still depends on servers and hosting and an always-on internet connection. I suppose it's better than nothing.
@mauve Yes, it isn't as good as having folks learn that ~all of coding is just plain old local text files. Hosted stuff feels too much like far away secret magic.
@trevorflowers Yeah I think ultimately of I can give people a bit more power over their computers it'd be enough. i'll try workshopping some ideas with the librarians.
@mauve Cool idea!eep with the Chromebooks though…
Hope a solution is easily rectified.
