alice-teacher Summer Camp request

Open searches are time consuming.
Curated (human filtered and augmented) are much better.  This means a "social" network of some form.
That being said, find people who care about this (via tags).  Looking at what these people have will most likely lead you to other folks who care about the same tagged resources that you care about.  Best it is already prefiltered and often recommended 
So try this one:http://www.diigo.com/user/ebujak/studentopportunities

Yeah, this is my diigo social bookmarks I put out there."studentopportunities" is for high school students."teacheropportunities" is for teachers"undergraduateopportunities" is for undergrads.
BTW, I only tag cheap, free, or paid "opportunities"
Also do NOT limit yourself to computer camps.  My children have done all forms and formats of camps.
The issue with children camps is that they need costly around the clock chaperons .. so if the camp is not subsidized than you have to foot that expense.--Ed Bujak

Thank you so much for this info, Sandy - I'll try to check further to see what travel options may be available for my student.


Very best,

St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas, has a free pre-engineering program that includes Alice to teach java.  They cover other areas, too, like learning C++ to program the Lego Mindstorms brick.  I don’t remember what else.  Only 50 students per session are chosen.  However, I am not aware of any dorms or overnight accommodation of any sort.  


 


Camp A: from June 11 to June 16, 2012; 9am to 4pm;


Camp B: from June 18 to June 23, 2012; 9am to 4pm;


Camp C: from June 25 to June 30, 2012; 9am to 4pm;

Would anyone happen to know of any "summer school" type enrichment programs featuring Alice 2.2 for middle school students, that might be available with scholarship?  One of my previous grade 8 students was so enthused with Alice, & really left the rest of us far behind in his pursuits.  He happens to be a foster child who doesn't excel at much else in school, but is extremely enthused about pursuing this line for his future career, and is a very pleasant individual, interacts very well with his fellow students.  I don't think he has experienced much enrichment in his life, & it would be a wonderful opportunity if he might be able to attend a special summer program at some point featuring further exploits in Alice (with a teacher having much more expertise than
myself).  If you happen to know of anything along these lines, I would be most interested to learn about it.  Many thanks, again!
