SHOW TOPICS:Yes, homeschooling conventions really exist.  They are valuable for parents whether you homeschool or not, whether you can attend in person or not.  In this episode, Tali and Scott share their experience as vendors and speakers at the 2024 GHC Cincinnati event.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:There are multiple brands of homeschooling conventions.  The one Tali and Scott attended was Great Homeschooling Conventions, GHC.One non-obvious benefit of homeschooling conventions is the morale boost it gives for parents: attending workshops, getting pumped up, getting fresh information, being reminded of basic principles.Featured speakers are brought in to speak.  There are also workshops facilitated by exhibitors.Conventions bring together homeschoolers and hundreds of vendors who cover a widely diverse set of products and services.Most attendees purchase curriculum for the following school year.Tali’s new vendor list: Flitetest; Wonder Year (book); Poptential; Teach Me Health and Homeopathy; Soda Farm; Science Ninjas; Push and GrowScott’s new vendor list: Beyond Personal Finance; Life Momentum with Anna B; Trinity College of LouisvilleHands-on projects can be combined with formal classes.  Projects also help get dads or other family members get involved, and give moms a break.Homeschoolers, like Bitcoiners, are open to alternative, i.e., non-fiat, diets, natural non-processed foods, homesteading, etc.There is still a long road ahead to open homeschoolers up to how money works and Bitcoin.Attendance this year was down, most likely due to the poor economic conditions. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:Great Homeschooling Conventions, GHC,  https://greathomeschoolconventions.comFlitetest, https://www.flitetest.comBeyond Personal Finance, https://beyondpersonalfinance.com“Wonder Year” book, https://wonderyear.com“Choose Life” http://princesoffthegrid.weebly.com/chooselife/choose-life-by-daniel-prince  Life Momentum with Anna B, https://annabauereis.comPoptential, https://poptential.orgTrinity College of Louisville, https://trinitycollegelou.comExcel College, https://www.theexcelcollege.comTeach Me Health and Homeopathy, https://www.homeopathyworks.com/teach-me-health-homeopathy-curriculum/Soda Farm, https://sodafarm.com“Sweet Remedies” https://sodafarm.com/collections/books-by-dawn/products/sweet-remedies-healing-herbal-honeysScience Ninjas, https://www.scienceninjas.comPush and Grow, https://pushngrow.comHAPPY TO HELP:Tali's Twitter @OrangeHatterPodScott's Twitter @ScottLindberg93Scott's nostr npub19jkuyl0wgrj8kccqzh2vnseeql9v98ptrx407ca9qjsrr4x5j9tsnxx0q6Free Market Kids' Twitter @FreeMarketKidsOrange Pill App @FreeMarketKidsFree Market Kids' games including HODL UP https://www.freemarketkids.com/collections/gamesWAYS TO SUPPORT:We are essentially our own sponsors and are so grateful for all of you who support this show.  Thank you!Subscribe, like and share this podcast with othersCrazy awesome 2024 Halving Collector’s Edition of HODL UP is available at https://www.freemarketkids.com/products/hodl-up-2024-halving-limited-editionVisit our “Free Market Kids“ for products like the Bitcoin mining game, HODL UP  https://www.freemarketkids.com,Check out Tali’s podcast by and for Bitcoin women, “Orange Hatter” https://www.orangehatter.com  Have fun with “Proof of Work Apparel” https://www.freemarketkids.com/collections/proof-of-work-apparelSTANDING RESOURCE RECOMMENDATIONS:Article "Homeschoolers Are Bitcoiners Who Don't Know It Yet" https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/parallels-between-homeschool-and-bitcoinTali’s “Quick Start” checklist  https://www.freemarketkids.com/blogs/i-want-to-start-homeschooling/i-want-to-start-homeschooling-quick-start-checklistMentioned in this episode:Aleia Free Market Kids Full
