Do you have other news from the week that you'd like to share? Please post it as a comment below.
I'm not sure if this is an appropriate place to post this request - but I'm hoping to connect with Sydney, Australia based scratch educators. I'm hoping to recruit some new tutors to help teach scratch (paid work) to primary aged children in before and after school workshops. Please get in touch if you'd like to find out more!
