There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
This workshop is for rising 4th-6th grade children. In this session you will use free software from CMU called Alice to allow you to make 3D movies. And, you will use LEGO NXT kits to create artificial life forms. You will learn the basics of object-oriented programming: classes, objects, and methods (behaviors). You will also learn some basic computing concepts: repetition (loops), conditionals, and variables. For more information on Alice see http://www.alice.org. For more information on LEGO robots see http://mindstorms.lego.com/. More information about summer camps can be found here: http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/ice-gt/1080.
