This isn’t strictly Pi-related, but it is to do with electronics and education so I thought I’d blog about it anyway!<\/p>\n

Pi enthusiast (and Babbage the Bear-hugger) and STEM Ambassador Charlotte Godley wants to run an educational workshop<\/a> for her local Girl Guides group. The subject of the workshop is wearable technology. For this, she needs to get hold of a load of GEMMA Arduino<\/a> boards and other stuff (pictured above). Although she’s got some<\/em> funding from the guides, she needs\u00a0your<\/em> help to fund the rest of the workshop<\/a>. She has secured discounts for the supplies and is eager to get going on it. Her enthusiasm has come over in numerous Tweets and she’s created a video in which she talks about her plans:<\/p>\n
