=== Ramlose grant ===

This is a small grant ($2-6k) targeted at small orgs serving the New England area. http://ramlosefoundation.org/about

Summary of Request

Sugar Labs is seeking $6,000 in funds for a weekend workshop in the early summer of 2025 to engage Boston-based teachers in Constructionism, an ideal based on creating experiences for learners to learn by doing, rather than solely via instruction. Teachers will work on projects, create curriculum, and solve problems under the guidance of Sugar Labs mentors. Teachers will leave refreshed, intellectually stimulated, and prepared for their future project-based classes.

Proposal is due at the end of August. Devin will take the lead and Claudia and Walter will help with the writing.

=== Constructing Modern Knowledge report ===

Devin's takeaway is that a lot of teachers really enjoy having a "retreat" to work on creative projects.

Also, a lot of attendees are familiar with Sugar Labs, but, understandably, weren't clear on what we are doing today.

Devin will keep them informed going forward.

=== Open Source Conference (OOSC) ===

https://events.canonical.com/event/89/overview

Devin was invited... But whereas it is in India, it might make sense to send someone local.
