[CLOH-News] If you are a techie coach, subscribe to and feed into 412-pals-talk

[Mark Rauterkus]

Hi,

I'm a fan of programming and coding. I think it should be taught to kids in
high school. A niece went to Wash U and started a chapter of "Girls Can
Code" -- a club. That's kewl.

I figure on most teams there are one or two per grade that have a desire
and the abilities to do deeper dives in tech, helping first with the home
team and then, perhaps, branching out into greater community efforts.

One, of many problems is that there are few educational resources that fit
well into the K-12 school setting. And, the tools that are there are not
robust once the end of the line arrives. Then, it is back to square one
with a new environment.

So, most of this tech learning comes in an independent fashion. Figure out
the ich you want to scratch and go to work with lots of trial and error.
Learn by doing.

One subdomain, https://Code.SwimISCA.org, has an email list, 412-Pals-Talk
that is open and it gets interesting tidbits when I see them.

If you love tech things in sports and swimming, it would be great to have
you subscribe and also feed into that archives too for the sake of shared
enrichment. Then, as something special comes along, we'll blog about it too.
