Summer 2005 Vex Robotics Boot Camp for Educators

[White Wolf]

I forgot to mention a couple of important things

If you are a teen: Since I am encouraging teachers to bring 0-2 students. You can see if you can be one of the students coming to the training. I have been in training all week looking at the new programming module and the new pneumatics module. We are hoping they are both ready for prime time, so we will have the modules for our training.

The other really cool thing is Grant Imahara of Team Deadblow will be helping lead the Boot Camp. He built the electronics for the Episode I-III R2D2 and if one of the only three drivers for R2. (He also did electronics for the energizer bunny and drives the energizer bunny) and is a new Mythbuilders for the Discovery Channel's Mythbusters TV show

If you are a teacher/coach/mentor: Run the the phrase "robotics curriculum" through Google and notice how high the NASA Robotics Curriculum Clearinghouse show on the page. Yvonne Clearwater from NASA runs this and Girls in Robotics Learning . She will also be helping us with the Boot Camp.

We are going to have fun.
