Thanks to Michael for sharing this, it is coming up next week! If you
missed the BALUG presentation tonight, you have a final chance to
catch it at this event. Plus a pile of Ubuntu goodies and free pizza
and refreshments over at the OpenDNS office near the SF Caltrain
station.
If you can't RSVP through the link above, drop me an email to RSVP or
use meetup instead:

And ... at present, looks like the list archives may be working
again. Not sure if any messages might've gone missing from
the archives, but at least the main archive pages seem to
at least load now - whereas before they were (double) erroring
out.

The Linux Users' Group of Davis (LUGOD) will be holding the following meeting:
Monday
July 18, 2016
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Presentation:
The Center for Integrated Computing and STEM Education (The C-STEM Center)
presented by Professor Harry H. Cheng,
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, UC Davis
C-STEM, "Computing, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics",
<http://c-stem.ucdavis.edu/about-us/> is a UC Approved Educational
Preparation Program for Undergraduate Admission for all University of
California campuses. Participation in the C-STEM program is recognized
in the UC admissions process as achievements that have explicitly
prepared students for college and career.
UC Davis recently launched a new national program for school districts
across the country that will make it easier for students to have
computer science educations starting in first grade. This new
curriculum provides students with a full first-grade-to-high-school
curriculum that includes mathematics from the Center for Integrated
Computing and STEM Education at UC Davis (the C-STEM Center).
The C-STEM Center, founded by Professor Harry Cheng in 2010, aims
to transform C-STEM education in both formal and informal K-14
programs through integrated learning, guided by two key objectives:
(1) close the achievement gap by broadening participation of
students traditionally underrepresented in computing and STEM
related careers and post-secondary study, and (2) develop students'
21st century problem-solving skills to tackle real world concerns
through integrated computing and STEM education.
The center's vision is to provide formal computing education for
all K-12 students. The C-STEM ICT (information and communications
technology) Pathway will provide K-12 students with 12 years of
computer science education through hands-on integrated learning of
math and computer science with coding in the C and C++ languages,
and Blockly, a client-side JavaScript library for creating visual
block programming editors which run in a web browser (an open source
project of Google, and which resembles Scratch).
The C-STEM Center can provide two-day training academies and weeklong
institutes in using the curriculum in the classroom for teachers
who have no prior computer programming and robotics experience.
About the Speaker:
Dr. Harry Cheng <http://faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu/cheng/>
is a professor at UC Davis' Department of Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering, and is founder and director of the C-STEM Center. In 2006,
he found that few students in his freshman computer programming course
had prior experience in the subject. Inspired to increase exposure
to computing in K-12 classrooms, Cheng saw a larger opportunity
to transform how students from elementary school to college learn
computing, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (C-STEM).
This meeting will be held at:
Explorit Nature Center
3141 5th Street
Davis, CA 95616
