Hello, We have several opportunities for you to volunteer this fall to help us introduce computing to girl scouts! We have several Dad and Me weekends coming up starting Sept 15. Dads and their daughters go camping and do a variety of activities. We help them do an activity with LEGO NXT robots (http://mindstorms.lego.com/) in one hour sessions. We usually go up Sat night and build the robots and then help with the activities on Sunday till noon. The girl scouts provides a place to sleep and meals. We reimburse you for mileage if you drive.
