IPRE Summer Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement Workshop

at Bryn Mawr College, Philadelphia June 11, 12, 13 at Georgia Tech, Atlanta, 
July 7, 8, 9

Synopsis: The Institute for Personal Robots in Education is pleased to offer 
two workshops this summer for instructors interested in using robots as a 
context for CS education.  In this workshop we will introduce you to a fresh 
approach to CS1 that uses personal robots. You will be provided with a 
personal robot kit and curricular materials and receive hands on training on 
how to teach CS1 with personal robots. The robots are programmed using Python. 
No prior knowledge of Python will be essential for attending this workshop. 
You will have an opportunity to become an integral member of the IPRE 
community that is actively developing this approach of teaching CS1.

Audience: We encourage participation from instructors and professors who teach 
introductory computer science at the undergraduate level; we also welcome high 
school teachers.

Costs: The registration fee is $30.  IPRE is able to provide each participant 
with lodging, meals, and a scribbler robot kit to keep. We may be able to 
offer additional travel support to some participants.
Please indicate your need for travel support on the reservation form.
