Learning Computing Concepts with Robots Oct 14 2006

Pictures and Movies from Robot Workshop 2006

The Institute for Computing Education (ICE) at the Georgia Institute of Technology is pleased to offer a Robotics workshop October 14, 2006 from 10:00am - 4:30pm. Lunch is included. This workshop will be in room 104A of the College of Computing Building (not room 107 as we have been in for past workshops). The closest parking is at the State Street Visitors Lot (between State and Atlantic on Ferst). This lot charges a maximum of $8.00 a day. Directions to the College of Computing Building are at http://www.cc.gatech.edu/content/view/126/234.

Teachers will build LEGO robots and program them using drag-and-drop programming and Java. The workshop will explain how to cover introductory computing concepts by programming robots such as: class, object, variable, iteration, conditional execution, and event-driven execution.

Teachers who complete the workshop and an additional four hours of activities by Nov 14th will receive the 1 PLU recommendation.

Thanks to a grant from the Toyota Foundation we can offer a stipend of $200.00 for the first 20 Georgia public school teachers who attend the full workshop and complete the additional 4 hours of outside work.

To apply send e-mail to Barbara Ericson (ericson@cc.gatech.edu).
