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. :/
@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.
