[Edu-sig] Looking for Python curriculum developer to help us!

[Clare Richardson]

Hello all,
I recently joined this list, and I'm very excited to be a part of such a
great resource.  I'm working on a high school program at Girlstart to
prepare and encourage girls for technical majors and careers.  Girlstart
is a non-profit in Austin, TX, committed to engaging girls in math,
science, and technology.  Next school year, we will introduce our high
school girls to programming through creating educational games and
activities with Python and Pygame.  I will definitely be pinging this
list for advice in the future!

Girlstart is looking to contract out a curriculum developer position for
July and August to work on Python/Pygame lessons for our high school
program, Project IT Girl.  See the job ad below.  Applicants need not be
in the Austin area.

Thanks!
