- I hope that one of the things that will change will be the timeliness with which I update the blog! Since I'm actually writing this in November, I would say I haven't got off to a promising start.
- I am splitting the meetings into focus groups. The first meeting of the month will be dedicated to Building with Legos and other construction toys. The second meeting of the month will be dedicated to Programming, primarily with Scratch. Members (and parents) can decide if they want to belong to one or both of the groups.
- The cost of participating has also increased. Unfortunately, Legos are not cheap and most of the supplies that the group uses have been purchased by me. It will be $30 to participate in each focus group. If you do not belong to another 4H Club, there is an additional $15 for membership dues for 4H. There is a discount for more than 1 child. You can also pay as you go.
- On the flip side, I am going to be loaning out the NXT kit and the Science and Engineering kit, along with resources for building different models. Members who have paid their dues in full will be able to check out a kit for a month at a time.
- We have a Facebook page now. I'm going to use it as another way to communicate about the schedule, interesting links and resources, and other events.
Hope to see you!
