<p>Heres the site’s description of the course: <a href=“http://www.academicconnections.ucsd.edu/program/courses/robotics.cfm[/url]”>http://www.academicconnections.ucsd.edu/program/courses/robotics.cfm</a></p>
<p>It looks like it’s a little bit more advanced than mindstorms “In this class, we will be using the latest continuum of robotics sets, programming software, sensors, and curriculum developed by the collaboration between LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Education, National Instruments, Tufts University Center for Engineering Education Outreach, Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Academy and Vernier Software & Technology.”</p>
<p>I’ll check the other sites out, but part of the reason why I want to attend thus program is because not only do they provide SAT prep courses in the evening, they give a chance to meet with UCSD admissions officers. I also want to experience what San Diego is like, because it seems like a beautiful city.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I think academically taking summer school will benefit me more. Unfortunately after a roadblock in middle school i’m 1 year behind in math and still taking alg 2 in my junior year =( If I take precalc during the summer (from one of the top private schools in Hawaii) and chemistry I’ll be able to get some APs under my belt senior year, since I haven’t taken regular chem yet. What do you guys think?</p>
