 Prewired provides an unstructured but **supportive environment** for under 19s to explore and learn about computer programming and related topics.
 
-We have **volunteers** from university and industry with a wide variety of skills who volunteer their time because they love to teach young people about computing. 
+We have **volunteers** from university and industry with a wide variety of skills who volunteer their time because they love to teach young people about computing.
 
 Occasionally we run structured **workshops** to introduce attendees to a new topic they may not have considered before. Over the summer we hold **hackathons**, where the kids are challenged to meet specific goals in a set amount of time; this is a really fun learning experience, with concrete outcomes. In the past, we have formed teams to take part in national **events** like [the First Lego League](http://www.firstlegoleague.org/) or [Young Rewired State](https://yrs.io).
 
 Prewired is also a place for young people to **meet peers** with shared interests which they can develop together. For some, it can be difficult to interest friends and family in computing, which may lead to a feeling of isolation. It can be hard to figure out where to go next when there's no-one you can ask. We want to let young people know that there's a huge **community** of like-minded people who are waiting to welcome them.
 
 ## What does your child need?
 
-First, they'll need to [register for membership]({{ base_path }}/registration/). Once this has been done, [book a place](http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/prewired-tickets-12525428895) for each session that they would like to attend.
