how about meetups with the children in focus, like, encourage the kids to get interested in technology. I guess they need to be 5+ years or something, but I think a kind of meetup where kids gets to hack on fun stuff with their and other parents as teachers could be something truly great.
For sure. We'll definitely move into that direction if we have enough older kids (> 5).
I'd try it--I've got kids at 6, 8 and 10 years old.
great idea! I wish I there was such a group when I was a kid
