[ENCI-l] EXTRA - Volunteers Needed

[engg-enci-l at mailman.ucalgary.ca]

Hello!

Do you like robots?  Want to spend some quality time with them, starting
with the Lego Mindstorms platform?  If yes, you should check out the
Schulich Community Robotics Program (SCRP).  We teach kids how to use the
Lego Mindstorms and have a tonne of fun in the process.

Don't know anything about robotics?  Not a problem!  Each mentor gets their
own Mindstorms kit to train on before you ever guide kids through building
and/or programming their own simple robots.

If you are not interested in guiding kids, you can still help us design
crazy robot competition challenges, learn how to use the Mindstorms, or just
plain hang out with us during build sessions.

Now if you don't eat/sleep/breath robots, you're probably wondering what's
in it for you:


1.       It's really fun.

2.       You can get co-curricular record for it.

3.       You can make industry contacts.

4.       You can build awesome robots (some of our mentors have been working
on walking quadrupeds lately).

5.       You can improve your leadership/mentoring/teaching/communication
skills.

6.       You can refine (or learn!) your design and programing skills.

7.       ...Did we mention that it's extremely fun?
