Hi there!
<div>
</div>
<div>
Hope you're well. I wonder if you might be able to help us promote an upcoming free event in the city for young digital makers?</div>
<div>
</div>
<a href="http://yrs.io" target="_blank">Young Rewired State</a> is a connected community of coders and digital makers aged 18 and under. We introduce them to like-minded peers, and expert mentors, at free events around the world, where they focus on collaboration, skill development and using their digital skills for social good.

The '</span><a href="http://festival.yrs.io/" style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" target="_blank">Festival of Code</a><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">' is a week-long celebration of young technology talent, bringing together coders from all across the UK - and the world - to build projects together to solve real world problems. Over the past six years, we've worked with over 2,000 young people in the UK and abroad, with lots of our alumni now returning to mentor the next generation of young coders.</span></span>

<div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">
At the Festival our community gather from Monday to Thursday at volunteer-led <a href="http://festival.yrs.io/centres" target="_blank">local centres</a> to make new friends and prototype projects using their coding skills and open data. They then come together for the Festival weekend where they showcase what they have built to parents, mentors, press, industry and expert judges, while having lots of fun experimenting with new technology and eating much pizza!</div>

I really would be so grateful if you could help us spread the word in Glasgow - even a couple of tweets would be fantastic. Thanks so much in advance and have a great weekend!</div>
