CLASSES


ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE LATTC ROBOTICS CLASSES:

Los Angeles Trade Technical College (LATTC) is creating two FREE*
summer robotics courses, starting JUNE 17TH! This is an EXCELLENT
opportunity to learn about robotics, with a strong emphasis on
manufacturing.
And you'll assist the Scarabs RoboCup Team ( www.scarabs.org
<http://www.scarabs.org> ) in
constructing a SEARCH AND RESCUE ROBOT, to compete against some
of the top robotics scientists in the world!

BUT... you've got to HURRY!!!!! SPACE IS LIMITED, and the response
has been STRONG!! PRE-REGISTER NOW to save your space!

Course information:
· These are INTENSIVE, HANDS-ON courses: two 5-week sessions,
12 class hours per week.
· Times will be Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 6:30 - 9:30 pm, and
Saturdays, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.
· *The course is FREE for high school students; adults will pay $11.
There is an additional $11 health fee for both students and adults.
· High school students will earn BOTH COLLEGE AND HIGH SCHOOL
CREDIT. To waive the $11 course fee and receive H.S. credit, they must

have their school sign off on their registration form. Forms will
be mailed
to students after pre-registration is complete.
· All participants completing course requirements will earn one unit of
COLLEGE
CREDIT per 5-week course.
· AGE RANGE: 15 to adult. Students under the age of 15 will be accepted

ONLY if accompanied one-on-one by a parent or legal guardian during the

entire class time.
· Course topics include (but are not limited to):


o CAD
o CNC
o Lathing
o Milling
o Drilling
o Other shop skills
o Physics
o Electronics
o Computer programming
o Sensor interfacing
o Mechanical design
o Electrical systems


· Students will be free to focus on topics they are interested in.
· Some class time may be missed or made up, at the instructor's
discretion.
· PLEASE keep in mind that these are INTRODUCTORY courses - you're not
going to be an expert in ANY of these skills, even if you attend both
five-week
sessions.
· To pre-register, please email your name, mailing address and social
security number**
IMMEDIATELY to Michael Randall (mentor for the Harvard Westlake
Saracens
US FIRST team #1148, and Team Coordinator for the Scarabs RoboCup
search
and rescue team).
· **LATTC uses your Social Security number as your student ID. If you do
not
want to use your Social Security number, provide your phone number -
you'll be
contacted to make other arrangements.
· For these courses to happen, the registrar at LATTC needs at least 25
students to
pre-register for each class by JUNE 9TH! (Considering the strong
response so far,
I do not think this will be a problem).
· TO REGISTER: Registration forms will be mailed to you. Students under
18 will
need permission from both their parents and their school to attend.
