This is a page for planning the ISTA outreach program to area High Schools. Please add to it anything you think of, to help the project grow!
Goals
why are we doing this?
- to provide access to exciting ideas in AI to local students (see #Finding a school)
- to introduce the community to ISTA
- to partner with other organizations sharing our goals (e.g., student enthusiast clubs, nonprofits)
- contribute what we develop as potential curriculum to be taught at area High Schools (via this wiki, maybe)
Finding a school
we can probably only make room for 1 - 2 schools per semester, so we need to decide what's important in how we choose our school(s)
- coursework/extracurriculars related to programming/robotics
- are there participants who could especially benefit from the exposure?
- low socioeconomic status, underrepresented populations (sex, ethnicity), gifted, highly motivated, creative, some combination of these
Info. on Area High Schools
post information relevant to what is listed in #Finding a school here
- Tucson HS
- University HS/Rincon HS
- Desert View HS
- Saguaro HS
- CDO HS
- Amphi HS
- Sabino HS
- Basis HS
- Sunnyside HS
- Catalina HS
- Catalina Foothills HS
- Salpointe Catholic HS
Activities / Lack of Activities
we need to consider how much structure we want during these hours
- use the existing AIMA framework to get things started?
- some kind of competition they could work towards?
- transition to an open hack environment?
- first, get ROS installed
- next, work with wubble2 simulator on a predefined project
- next, run it on the robot
- finally, have permissions to do some open hacking
Time / Scheduling
how much time per week can we spend on this
- who (among us) is involved?
- at least one Spanish speaker
- what would be the best day/time?
- how long would we need to prep. for this?
- when we give tours, could we ask the organizer to bring information useful to #Finding a school?
- is there anything special we need to do if high schoolers will be here?
Next steps
what are we planning to do next
email Clay to check out the project!- get information about all the schools in #Info. on Area High Schools
