Tecnológico de Monterrey became a new NCLab Partner School! NCLab is used at the Escuela de Ingeniería to teach computer programming and parallel GPU computing. This partnership may develop into a future collaboration on educational modules for parallel programming in NCLab. We are very excited about this partnership!

3D modeling with PLaSM is the second most popular module in NCLab after computer programming with Karel the Robot. Based on user input collected during the last months we thoroughly revised PLaSM, made it easier to use, and translated into Czech and Polish. Other translations will follow based on requests. Here is a list of

The Washoe County SD NCLab Training Day took place on June 20 at the WCSD training facility at Matley Lane in Reno. It was attended by 42 math and science teachers, we did computer programming with Karel the Robot and 3D modeling with PLaSM, and it was a HUGE SUCCESS. The excitement of teachers about

Both Martins participated in the Octave Conference 2013 which took place on June 24 – 26 in Milan, Italy. During their visit they met with key Octave developers as well as with Octave’s founder J.W. Eaton. Knowing about newest trends in Octave development helps us to better prepare for further improvements of the Octave module

After making the GNU Octave module interactive, we added interactivity to the Python module as well! The technical procedure was different from Octave, because Octave is handled in a different way. The way interactivity is achieved in Python is based on running simultaneous parallel threads. Skipping technical details, here is a brief illustration. We execute

On May 28 – 31 we (Pavel and Ed) spent another four days in beautiful East Nevada towns Ely, Eureka and Lund, training K-12 teachers in computer programming and 3D modeling with NCLab. Nine workshops in three days marked a new record on our list. This trip was organized with great care by the Superintendent
