The Institute for Computing Education (ICE) at Georgia Tech will hold a 10 hour workshop for Programming and System Managment teachers Monday Feb 28th from 5:00pm - 9:00pm and Tues March 1st from 8:00am - 2:00pm at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech. The workshop is free for public school teachers and cost $150 for private school teachers. Lunch is included on Tuesday. We need to have at least 12 public school teachers registered in order to hold the workshop.

In the workshop we will program Lego Mindstorms Robots using visual software and Java. We will write programs to control a virtual robot (a turtle) and create programs that manipulate sounds as well. We will have about 10 Lego kits so each teacher will be able to program a robot.

Private school teachers can e-mail ericson@cc.gatech.edu to register. Public school teachers should register on the GVSDC web-site http://www.gvsdc.org. The workshop number is GV05167
