Devon Mirsalis from Emerald Hill, CA (12) wrote a computer program for Karel to follow an arbitrary trail of marks through a maze, using just 11 lines of code. The official solution provided by NCLab was 26 lines long. Great job Devon! Both the maze and the program are shown below.
The NCLab computer programming and 3D modeling summer camp in Winnemucca, NV was a huge success. The superintendent of the Humboldt county SD Dr. Dave Jensen stopped by to see how the students were doing. He liked it very much, and promised to provide funding so that more students will be able to participate in
As an experiential learning opportunity, the 1 Million Cups format is consistent in each location: Every Wednesday morning, one or two early-stage startups present their companies to a diverse audience of their peers, mentors, educators, and advisors. Prior to presenting, the founder prepares by incorporating lessons from the Kauffman Founders School “Powerful Presentations” series, featuring
The third session of the NCLab computer programming and 3D modeling summer camp was fantastic! It took place at UNR again and it was attended by 20 students. The camp was lead by our instructors Apryl and Maxwell. We had first-timers who started with Scratch and the Hour of Code, as well as returning students
Silver Springs is a small town located in the desert ca. one hour from Reno, but its Silver Stage Elementary School (SSES – preK to K8) is one of the largest elementary schools in Nevada. And the high school is impressive as well. The 2015 NCLab computer programming and 3D modeling summer camp was made
The summer camp took place at UNR on July 28-29, and it was attended by more than 30 students, both returning and new. Several students worked on their designs for the NASA 3D Container Challenge whose deadline is on August 2. Our students were the first to try the new NCLab Turtle Tina programming course.
Do not forget – every public K-12 school is eligible for 10 free student accounts with access to all NCLab courses!
We had a great time. Glad to hear that so did the attendees!
