Hi Bill<br><br> I am a member of NB and I teach there! So I look forward to meeting your family.<br><br> I would be happy to introduce you to the history and to the programs at Nueva that involve hacking and all that, that I am sure that Josh is going to like. As well as how parents usually get involve and help out with the programs, classes, etc. There are lots of ways to get involve as you may already know.<br>
<br> I would also love to guide you in terms of how we usually organize field trips and to what works better with the kids. <br><br> I do prefer to keep my work separate from my personal work/life but I am happy to help you organize the visit if the timing is right for all of us.<br>
<br> Please email me off list.<br><br> I look forward to meeting Josh!<br><br>Daniela<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Sep 19, 2009 at 12:44 PM, Bill Pollock <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bill@nostarch.com">bill@nostarch.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hello All,<br>
<br>
My son, Josh, loves visiting Noisebridge. (If Josh had his way he'd be<br>
at Noisebridge every day.) There are many other kids like Josh at his<br>
new school, Nueva, and I think it's important to reach out to these kids<br>
because so many nerdy kids feel isolated and misunderstood.<br>
<br>
How would people feel about my arranging a visit to Noisebridge by<br>
interested kids from Nueva? I'd set this up with the school's heads and<br>
I'd be sure to be in attendance. (I'm sure they're covered by their own<br>
insurance but this might be something to check.)<br>
<br>
These are not obnoxious kids; many are total young hackers and geeks.<br>
<br>
Also, I'd love to help to connect interested Noisebridge people with<br>
Nueva. Many of the Nueva kids would love to learn how to code, solder,<br>
build stuff, and hack.<br>
<br>
I'm just learning my way around the school but there are definite ways<br>
for people to become involved. It is incredibly cool to be around kids<br>
like these and I'd love to open that door.<br>
<br>
Bill Pollock<br>
