We hear you. &lt;3) who wish to have their kids enroll in the workshop, you simply had to have bought a ticket for WordCamp 2019 to sign them up. Limited slots though, so hurry!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more info, read our post <a href=\"https:\/\/2019.iloilo.wordcamp.org\/2019\/03\/20\/wordpress-workshop-for-kids\/#primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AUGUST 24, 2019 (SATURDAY, 7:00 am)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WordCamp\u2019s first day is straight-up pedal to the metal!
