The goal was to reach to children young enough that they haven't yet
"learned" the stereotypic role models that boys to tech and girls
don't. It was suprisingly easy to achieve. In the group there is no
trace of a sentiment that tech stuff or coding would be a boy thing.

You're welcome! Ryanair and other cheap airlines fly directly to
Tampere, so it is easy to come here :)
