Course materials will remain for a while, Videos on youtube forever

2014-01-18

Hi Folks! Thanks for making the Educational Robots for Absolute Beginners Course such a great success! The course officially finished in December 2013, but the course materials will remain accessible on the course web site for at least several months, hopefully longer. We have no specific plans to remove the course material, but we do have to pay web-hosting fees and can only afford to do that for so long.

While the course may eventually disappear, the course videos will remain available on the rowanrobots youtube channel indefinitely, and you can find more information and the assignments on the rowan cs4hs page.

Finish by January 15th, 2014 - and enter raffle to win a Google CS4HS tote bag!

2014-01-06



Hi Folks,

We're going to be giving away at least 10 (hopefully more - depending on how much  we spend on postage for the first 10!) of these Google CS4HS tote bags. We'll select the winners at random from those who finish the course by midnight on Wednesday January 15th, 2014 and fill out this prize entry form.

Hopefully this will encourage some of you who've been meaning to finish up those robot projects to do so. And for those of you who've already finished ... you can enter right away.

If you've finished the course and are interested in winning a tote bag, please be sure to fill out this prize entry form.

At the bottom of the Educational Robots Course page you will now find a link to the Certificate Download

Tips on Printing your Certificate:
  • The certificate is designed to print on a single page in landscape mode.
  • Depending on your web browser and paper size you may have to scale the page down slightly in order for the certificate to print on a single page - you can usually do this inside of "print preview."

  • If you would like to change the way your name is printed on your certificate, click on the "Progress" tab at the top of any of the course pages. Scroll down to the bottom and you will find a text box where you can reenter your name.
