[BozemanLUG] Local kids' computing ?

My oldest son has reached the age where he can begin to learn about 
computers and programming (I found that without a basic understanding of 
algebra it's pretty hard going, so 4th grade seems to be the first 
usable entry-point). He got a Rasberry Pi for his birthday and we've 
booted it up, ssh in, turned on/off the LED, played an audio file, stuff 
like that. We're waiting on the gertboard to be delivered next month.

Anyway, just curious if anyone else here has kids and if so what groups 
there might be locally to get together. I've seen some coverage of a 
robotics group at MSU that I believe worked with local HS students, but 
it isn't clear if they're still meeting.

Thanks!
