Susan and I are leading an
introductory Mindstorms NXT robotics workshop in
Washington, DC on Thursday,
July 16th. To clarify, this is not an FLL coaching workshop; this
is a
beginning robotics workshop for adults and students who have not
used Mindstorms robotics before.
The workshop is a 6-hr
introduction to Mindstorms NXT robotics that uses
the FLL challenge field in a
culminating "tournament" during the last 2.5 hrs
of the workshop. The workshop
focus is on kids, and an adult, learning
some robotics and having
fun. We are trying to "jump start" new FLL team
interest by
introducing NXT robotics to the core people who could start new
teams -- a
coach/mentor and two team members. We'll give only
a brief FLL
overview and point the adults to the FLL website and team
registration
URLs.
If you know someone who
is new to Mindstorms NXT robotics and may be interested
in starting a new FLL team, please tell them about the
workshop.
Thank you,
Bill
