Subject: [visionrehabtherapist] A Computer Science training workshop for educators and professionals

Hello all:

I have been asked by a colleague to help disseminate this information about an interesting computer science workshop. Here is the link to the full announcement: https://www.quorumlanguage.com/wordpress/index.php/2016/12/02/epiq-2017-announcement

Here is an excerpt from that announcement:

EPIQ – 2017
Experience Programming in Quorum: A Computer Science training workshop for educators and professionals

Computer Astronomy Camp
Yerkes Observatory
Wisconsin Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Quorum Outreach and Research Foundation

Are you interested in learning and teaching Computer Science? How about using computer science to better understand astronomy for any student? We invite you to the 8th annual Experience Programming in Quorum (EPIQ) workshop: July 23rd – July 31st held at the Yerkes Observatory & Wisconsin Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired. The workshop will focus on teaching participants how to program with the open source Quorum Programming language and equip them with a free and engaging curriculum (e.g., program games, LEGO robots) and accessible software development tools that can be used in the classroom.

Thanks!
Maureen

I just wanted to make the list aware of the situation. I won't be involved in the program because I don't teach school students (not a TVI).

I was interested and went to the website and if I understand this right, applications were supposed to be submitted by February 28, 2017. The information says limited space. So I assume it is too late.

Hello all:

I have been asked by a colleague to help disseminate this information about an interesting computer science workshop. Here is the link to the full announcement: https://www.quorumlanguage.com/wordpress/index.php/2016/12/02/epiq-2017-announcement

Here is an excerpt from that announcement:

EPIQ - 2017
Experience Programming in Quorum: A Computer Science training workshop for educators and professionals

Computer Astronomy Camp
Yerkes Observatory
Wisconsin Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Quorum Outreach and Research Foundation

Are you interested in learning and teaching Computer Science? How about using computer science to better understand astronomy for any student? We invite you to the 8th annual Experience Programming in Quorum (EPIQ) workshop: July 23rd - July 31st held at the Yerkes Observatory & Wisconsin Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired. The workshop will focus on teaching participants how to program with the open source Quorum Programming language and equip them with a free and engaging curriculum (e.g., program games, LEGO robots) and accessible software development tools that can be used in the classroom.

Thanks!
Maureen
