alice-teacher Alice Updates, Announcements, and Requests for Help

[Eric Brown]

Dear All,

I hope this finds everyone doing well.  I wanted to write with a couple Alice updates and requests for help.

1.  In case this was lost in the holiday season we did release a version of Alice that will allow you to import your own models.  We are very interested to hear if anyone has used this feature and would love feedback on the process and help testing:

2.  For those of you in the Western PA region we have kicked off the Alice Regional Challenge and are excited for you all to take part.  As part of this we are running our one-day student bootcamp again this year so please send any of your students that you think would enjoy this event our way:

3.  We have had several inquiries about our summer workshop this year.  We are planning on hosting it the week of July 15th to 19th at CMU.  I am unable to officially post sign-up and registration yet as I am still waiting for confirmation for the use of the computer lab.  Please let me know if you are hosting or know of any other Alice training opportunities around the country and I will be sure to share on our site.

4.  We are looking for any of you on the list-serve that are in the Twin Cities of Minnesota and would be willing help give support to a group of middle school girls undertaking a project using Alice for the Youth Science Center.  Please reach out to me directly for more information.

Sincerely,

Eric
