Describe the challenge you want to address:
Today, the basic knowledge of algorithmization is necessary for all children if they want to be successful people in the modern world.
Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:
I'd like to find a few dozen preschools and either to teach their teachers to make programming or robotics workshops for kids.
Or find and train interested teachers to serve several preschools by part-time.
I already had programming club for kids and my little students have already won several interregional competitions.
