alice-teacher CMU Qatar Code in Alice Summer Event

[Eric Brown]

Dear All,

I reached out to the people running this event and they say they have fixed the issue related to he locale.  If anyone else ran into this problem they should be all set for sign ups now.  Thank you all for considering getting involved in this event.  

I also wanted to respond to Wendy and anyone else who was unsure how to register and point you to this link again that has more information about the event including registration for both volunteer educators and participants:
