Greetings again, H-Ters! Just a reminder if you are looking a technical program for your high school aged daughters and sons this summer... The Williston Northampton School is presenting two identical 5-day Robotics Workshop Sessions on its campus for rising 9th through 12th grade students this summer. Session I runs from July 23-27 and Session II from August 6-10. The workshop's emphasis is to introduce the writing of C++ programs for autonomous control of pre-built NXT microprocessor-based robots. Students will compete with each other in a number of robot "Challenges" designed to test the accuracy of the robot's movement as guided by the student's programming. No prior C++ programming experience is required, but students should be competent in using a computer running OS X or Windows 7. This is a day program that runs from 8:45 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon. Lunch is provided in Williston's Birch Dining Commons for all workshop students. Tuition is $300 for the week and enrollment is limited to 12 students per workshop. The deadline for registration (and a $50 deposit) is due by June 29th, but HT-ers have an additional week (July 6th). As of today, we do have some remaining space in BOTH sessions. Registration is based on a first come basis. Please visit this URL which links to the Williston Summer Programs website for the Robotics Workshop. Detailed program information and all needed forms can be accessed there. www.williston.com/roboticscamp<http://www.williston.com/roboticscamp> Folks can also contact RoboticsWorkshop at Williston.com<mailto:RoboticsWorkshop at Williston.com> or my office (413-529-3334) if they have any specific questions or concerns about the Workshop.
