Mike, Congrats on the new program! Look forward to hearing more about it.
We don't have a Pyro workshop this summer, but there is a workshop related to robotics and education, and some Alice workshops that I know of.
First, "Robotics: Science and Systems" (RSS) will be in Atlanta, June 27-30. See http://www.robotics-conference.org/ for general information, and http://www.roboteducation.org/rss-2007/ for details on the "Workshop on Research in Robots for Education".
I saw that Steve and Wanda posted some details on their Alice workshop schedule to the SIGCSE mailing list (excerpts below).
Of course, there is the AAAI Mobile Robot Competition, too. See: http://www.aaai.org/Conferences/AAAI/2007/aaai07robotcall.php but that isn't a workshop, per se.
I suspect that next summer we may have a workshop on our new Myro materials (using personal robots in CS1 and CS2), but that is a ways off. I suspect that there may be some robot activity at next year's SIGCSE as well.
Anyone know of other workshops this summer related to robots and education? -Doug """ Here are the Alice workshops we will be running during this upcoming summer: May 30-31 -- Nassau Community College, NY Contact Lore Postnel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or Darci Burdge ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for details July 16-22 -- Carnegie Mellon University, PA Contact Don Slater ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for details July 26-28 -- Roger Williams University, RI Contact Barb Conover ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for details August 1-3 -- Georgia Tech, GA Contact Barb Conover ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for details August 8-10 -- California State University - Dominguez Hills, CA Contact Barb Conover ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for details Further details are available at: http://www.aliceprogramming.net/workshop2007.html Some of these workshops are funded by NSF grants. For those specific workshops, there is no registration or lodging fee. The workshops in RI and GA will focus on teaching with Alice and Guzdial and Ericson's Media Computation in a single CS1 or APCS course. The other workshops focus only on Alice.

Fellow Pyomaniacs, I keep telling people at my school (WPI) about the great summer workshops I have attended the last few years, including Pyro and Lego robotics, and the Alice programming environment. Now some of them are interested in attending. Does anyone know of any robotics workshops for college faculty this summer? For those who haven't heard, WPI will launch the first undergraduate major in the US in Robotics Engineering this fall.
