Mitch et al,
I am seriously interested in teaching new media art in the afterschool
program at Noisebridge. I am super good with kids too. What would be
ideal is to co-teach with someone who is better at engineering than I
am, I'm still learning. I really want to teach this stuff to kids,
though, esp. to girls. Even just making some simple fun circuits can
make a huge difference to a child's development. Some basic
programming.... It would be really good for me too for the
experience, I have only taught College Art.
