Summer Jobs for Undergraduate CS and CM majors: We are looking for outgoing and responsible undergraduate students in good academic standing to help with our summer workshops and camps. We offer workshops for high school teachers and train them about computing using Alice, free software from CMU that can be used to create 3D movies and games, and Media Computation, which was developed by Dr. Mark Guzdial at Georgia Tech and is used in 1315 and 1316. With media computation we teach computing concepts by writing programs that manipulate media such as negating an image and reversing a sound. We also run summer camps for middle and high school students. We use PicoCricket kits which are arts and crafts kits for the digital age. With the Cricket kits kids can create a musical pickle or a stuffed animal that can react to petting. We use Scratch which is free software from MIT that can be used to create 2D animations and games. We use LEGO Mindstorms NXT robots and have kids build robots and program them for several different tasks. We also use Alice and Media Computation. We will have 2 information meetings this week. One on Wed April 11th and one on Thurs April 12 both from 3pm - 4pm. These will be in room 109 of the College of Computing building. If you are interested but can't make either meeting contact Felicia Auzla fauzla@cc.gatech.edu. Thank You, Barb Ericson Director, CS Outreach College of Computing Georgia Tech ----- End forwarded message -----
