[UWAB] Volunteer with the Girl Scouts

[Whitlow,Jennifer Nicole]

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.
