When I hear about children who are presenting Ada & #Zangemann at their school -> 🥰 If you ever hear about that, I am very interested in getting a picture of their poster or worksheet. I love reading those!
When Petter discovered “Ada & #Zangemann”, he immediately felt the urge to make sure the story was available to the #Norwegian speakers. Now “Ada og Zangemann - En fortelling om programvare, rullebrett og bringebæris” has been published and was presented during the Norwegian local celebrations […]

Anyone here in the #FreeSoftware #OpenSource community who can help to proofread the Finnish translation of Ada & #Zangemann ?

My children just helped me to stage a picture I can use in @fsfe presentations when I explain that "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream" started with bedtime stories we developed together about computers, software, and hardware. 🥰 #Tux

IMAGE: Ada & Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream. By Matthias Kirschner and Sandra Brandstätter. On a mostly desaturated dark cyan background, in a frame composed of sometimes curled white lines that connect a mouse, a keyboard, and a pink smartphone, Ada and Zangemann are facing each other, both with their hands on their hips as a sign of challenge. Ada is smiling and Zangemann is frowning. Ada has black hair collected in two big right- and left-bound ringlets with red rubber bands, and red cheeks. She has little yellow stud earrings. She wears cyan and white horizontal striped shorts and a yellow shirt over a white undershirt that ends with embroidery that goes beyond the shirt. The shirt and undershirt come out over the shorts. Above the shirt Ada wears a blue hoodie. Ada is wearing red shoes with white tips and soles, and short white socks. She has one foot on a skateboard and the other on the ground. Zangemann has short gray hair and square glasses. He is wearing a purple turtle-neck sweater, light blue pants turned up, brown shoes, and white socks. He's wearing a big tech watch. Above Zangemann there are a pair of pliers with red handles crossing the wire frame.
As soon more and more summer vacations for pupils start: why not gift a copy of "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Rasberry Ice Cream" (6-106y) to children around you?
