LEGO ROBOTICS –FUN, CHALLENGING, AND EDUCATIONAL
Do you like to discover new thinks? Enjoy challenges? Have fun with puzzles?
Are you constantly learning? Easily adaptable? Ready to be on the cutting
edge of technology? Then come and join the Cerro Coso Community College
Robotics class!
Though the term "Lego Robotics" may conjure up visions of a 10-year-old
boy's hobby, Computer Science Instructor Debby Kilburn is using it as a
vehicle to teach her students cutting-edge technology in a hands-on fashion.
"You don't just learn by someone lecturing you, you learn by putting your
hands on something, wrapping your brain around it and figuring out solutions
for yourself," said Kilburn.
The newly added course at Cerro Coso College offers a broad spectrum of
lessons, from basic and complex scientific principles to teamwork, creative
thinking, problemsolving and trouble shooting.
The new Computer Science class CO81-Robotics is a 1 unit class that will be
offered January 4-6, 2007 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Kern River Valley
Campus.
Students may view the class schedule and register for the Spring 2007
semester on line at www.cerrocoso.edu or by stopping by the Kern River
Valley Campus, located at 5520 Lake Isabella Blvd. in Lake Isabella. No
appointment for registration is necessary.
Spring classes begin January 20, 2007. For additional information on
registration, financial aid, placement exams and academic advising call the
College at 379-5501.
