Serendipity (Camp Meriweather) is an event where the girl scouts go camping with their Moms. They go to different activites each hour and we are providing one of the activities.
We will be going up on Friday night with 12 laptops and 16 WeDos. We will be doing the Ball Kicker (and balls) and Top Spinner. We will pre-bulild about 4 Ball Kickers and 4 Top Spinners the night before. We will also bring flyers for our other Girl Scout events at Georgia Tech (about 60), power strips and extension cords, the dot diva brochures, the imagine your future in computing brochures, and the talking points card from NCWIT. Give the flyers, brochures, and cards to parents. The flyers are very important since that is how we get more girls to attend our workshops at Georgia Tech.
Workshop times on Saturday: 9am - 12pm, 2pm - 5pm. You will be conducting 1 hour sessions: 3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.
Rotation Times for morning and afternoon sessions are:
Kids can either use the pre-built WeDo or build one themselves if they have time.
Morning:
9:00-10:00am (probably till 9:50 for time to move to next activity) You might want them to take apart what they have built about 9:45am. - 8 girls and moms
10:00-11:00am - 4 girls with Moms
11:00-12:00noon - 11 girls with 10 Moms
You need to do set-up the night before. You may need to put up tables and set up the chairs and power strips.
Set up will be in the dining hall. Pre-build 4 Ball Kickers and 4 top spinners on Friday night.
Kathy Elliot (Organizer) will meet the students at the arts and crafts pavilion, next to the parking lot.
The camp will be providing Friday dinner through Saturday lunch for all the staff that weekend (you are welcome to eat dinner Saturday night there if you would like). They will need to bring bedding (we have bare mattresses), toiletries to include a towel, change of clothes, and they may want a flashlight, bug repellent, and jacket if they want to spend time outdoors.
We need to let Kathy Elliot know for which meals the volunteers will be joining the rest of the camp. And if any volunteers that are coming are males - that will make a difference in the sleeping arrangements, as they are a Girl Scout camp.
