  It looks like I may have a ticket to give away for #ohs2026 - life had other plans. Ping me if you are interested. It would be great if you could pick up my t-shirt for me and drop it at my place in Berlin, or mail it to Norway.

They were familiar with #Scratch, but the next step into using actual code - syntax errors on top of the logic errors - is always daunting. So, after a few experimental projects in different directions, and building on the micros...
