Heads up DC locals! I just received e-mail from the regional director of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics, and she tells me that Denise Lewis, the DC Assistant Regional Director and DC Senior Mentor, will be at NECC.
Given the stuff we're talking about doing with HacDC (http://hacdc.org/), Scratch boards, SoaS, etc and the fact that the DC Robotics folks did the Scratch Day in Takoma Park while we were doing Scratch Day in Arlington, this seems like a good time to meet and show off the 15 XO's we're bringing to the party. (I don't know what toys she's bringing.) For those of you unfamiliar with FIRST, it was founded by Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway (among several other things), "To transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes." according to the official web site.
