📖 1st proposal of the educational activity “They are young + they need code” at DALMINE

BGLUG, in collaboration with the Bergamo Narrators’ Circle and following the Call to Mobilization, will propose for the first time the educational activity “They are young + they need code” suggested by FSFE. The event will take place at the Dalmine Library on September 27, 2024 at 4:30 PM.

The target audience is children and young people aged 8 to 12.

This activity is part of the broader range of initiatives promoted by BGLUG and FSFE to raise awareness and promote free software, liberating people from the chains of proprietary software.

Admission is free, but a reservation is mandatory and can be made at the library or through this JotForm.

📖 About the Book

The famous inventor Zangemann lives in a huge villa high above the city. Adults and children alike love his inventions and are desperate to have them. But then something happens: when Zangemann wants to take another close-up look at his inventions during a walk through the city, a child hits him in the shin with the skateboard. That hurts! Enraged, the inventor makes a momentous decision… The clever girl Ada sees through what is going on. Together with her friends, she forges a plan.

This illustrated book tells the story of the famous inventor Zangemann and the girl Ada, a curious tinkerer. Ada begins to experiment with hardware and software, and in the process realises how crucial it is for her and others to control technology.

A book that arouses children’s interest in tinkering and encourages shaping technology. From age 6 to 106.
