Subject: [RoboEducators] LATTC ROBOTICS CLASS CANCELLED
Importance: High
Everyone (especially those who pre-registered):
I am VERY sad to report that the robotics summer classes at LATTC have been cancelled.
Due to California State budget cuts, the school simply doesn't have the money...for now. This
came as a BIG surprise (and disappointment) to me today -- it seemed like "all systems go".
My sincere apologies to you for any inconvenience or disappointment this news may cause.
I did everything I could.
Your response has been tremendous - 30 people pre-registered, with more expressing
interest. I'll continue to work with LATTC officials through the summer to create a
fall course, starting in September. (One night a week). For those of you who pre-registered,
I'll keep your info on file (with your permission), and notify you of course details as they
become available.
In the meantime, please visit our team website:
www.scarabs.org , for updates on the
progress of our search-and-rescue robot. (One of the instructors at LATTC is machining
the parts for us). Better yet, I invite you to attend our team meetings and lend your
assistance!
Thank you again for your interest and support. I will keep you informed re. future classes.
