<div dir="ltr">Hiliare,<div>I think it's awesome that you're working towards this; however, as someone who teaches 11-13 year olds, I absolutely do not think that Noisebridge is currently a safe place for them. �We harbored a known <i>pedophile</i>�for months, and there were people in the community who knew his history, but he wasn't removed from the space until after he punched someone in the neck. �If you want to do this, then be ready to stand guard eagle-eyed and actively defend them and remove the creepers for their vicinity. �Don't get me wrong, we're absolutely making progress as a community, but I'd be wary of bringing young girls in. �I think it might do more to discourage them than encourage them, to be honest.</div>
