Sac,Discovery Science Museum/Programming-Robotics Class

(From the SAFTI board)
Hi,
I have started talking with the museum about creating homeschool courses for us and becoming vendors with the charters in the area. She asked me what it is that we'd most like and so I am asking that in other circles to see what programs would benefit the museum and the needs of our learners. Got ideas? Email them to me diazjacqueliner@gmail.com

FOR THIS SEMESTER
PROGRAMMING/ROBOTICS/MINDSTORM

We wanted to find something where a project could be extended beyond a single class period. They are putting together a 6 week course that will likely focus more on programming and less on using the legos, the focus being getting your robot to accomplish specific tasks. I don't have the cost, but it will be lower than you might think since this semester people will be paying out of pocket even if with a charter since they aren't a vendor. Thinking this will be for grades 6th-8th with some flexibility a grade up or down depending on interest/ability. Kids should ideally have some experience with mindstorm.

Talk to me! She is talking with the instructor to figure out times, days. They WANT to be offering more but maybe were offering to the wrong crowd. For example, she scheduled SCRATCH programming but no one signed up so we could get a class in that going easily too.
