INTRODUCTION TO
PROGRAMMING
Do you have what it takes to be a computer geek? (Do
you have an aptitude for or interest in computer programming?
Or do you want to find out if you do?)
We are going to be offering an “Introduction to
Programming” course on Monday nights starting April
30th for 5 weeks (skipping Memorial Day.) We’ll be
discussing the various types of careers in this field,
practicing logic and deductive reasoning for problem
solving, learning basic programming concepts, and testing the concepts by seeing which team can program
their robotic car to autonomously finish a maze
in the least amount of time.
The class is going to meet at the Gold Hill Library
on April 30th, May 7th, 14th, 21st, and June 4th from
6:30 - 8:30PM. The final competition will be held at
a BBQ at our farm in Sam’s Valley on Saturday, June
9th. The cost for the course is $125 and includes the
classes and team use of a Lego Mindstorms robotics
kit.
Anyone with serious interest is welcome to attend --
the level of the instruction will be generally targeted
towards junior-high / high-school age students.
Additional notes:
1. If there is interest in a similar class directed towards
younger students please let me know.
2. I plan on offering this same course again in the
fall.
3. I plan on also offering in the fall an “introduction
to the computer” course.
4. Work-Based scholarships are available.
If you have any questions, please let me know. You
may apply by emailing me at “class@intrinsitech.net”
or calling 541.826.9029 -- space is limited so please
apply soon - Stephen Hewitt, Owner and Lead
