Hello, I work for an organization called Vision Education in New York City, and I would like invite all of you to be part of a Teachers' Retreat this August. Vision Ed. is a well-regarded non-profit involved in the development of technology and robotics education workshops for kids and teenagers. Laura Allen, the founder and president, has strong roots and close ties to the work of Seymour Papert at MIT and has masterminded a lot of the rise of Lego Robotics programs in the New York Area.
The retreat this summer is called the "Stonington Retreat in NYC". The Stonington Retreat is a rare opportunity to engage in high-level discussions and hands-on learning, focusing on the future of technology and education. Workshops will be offered in: The NEW NXT Generation Mindstorms, the PicoCricket (with Special Guest Mitch Resnick!), MicroWorlds EX, EX Robotics, RoboLab, First Lego League Coach Training, Digital Video and Blogging. The retreat will be held August.8-11 in lower manhattan in NYU's Kimmel Center. Please visit our website to find out more information: http://vemny.org/stonington.html The website also contains an online registration form, and I recommend that you register as soon as possible before spaces fill up! Any questions email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hope to see you there!
