Thanks Ursula for circulating that link - the App-a-thon is not just at TNMOC though. We are UK-Wide:
http://www.bcs.org/content/ConWebDoc/54172
With 30+ sites in England, Scotland and Wales, we're hoping for over 2000 attendees.
13th June, free, open to all (under 16s need accompanying). Every site led by a woman, showing lots and lots of people (including kids and parents) that women can do tech.
Any questions, drop me an email -
H.

Take part in the App-a-thon Guinness World Record Attempt
at The National Museum of Computing on 13 June 2015
1 June 2015
The National Museum of Computing is partnering BCSWomen to be a venue in the App-a-thon Guinness World Record attempt on Saturday 13 June 2015 from 10am to 4pm.
The family fun day event, which is open to all, will be held at many venues across the UK. It aims to create a new world record and encourage girls to consider a career in IT. At each of the venues, participants will learn from women teachers how to build Android apps and there will be talks, activities and hands-on coding.
Anyone can register now for their free place on this world record attempt, see:http://www.bcs.org/content/conEvent/9365
Jill Clarke, a TNMOC volunteer, member of BCSWomen and leader of the event at TNMOC, said: “This is a great way for everyone to learn about what goes into the making of an app, a feature of computing that most people use every day. We hope lots of people, especially families and girls from Milton Keynes and surrounding areas, will sign up to take part in the App-a-thon Guinness World Record attempt at The National Museum of Computing, the historic home of Colossus.”
