Albemarle County Summer Opportunities

A3 Summer Opportunities ~ Authentic, Academic, Accelerated
Registration opens on April 16 at 9 am at the County Office Building  
on the third floor or by email
Registration forms will be available at www.k12albemarle.org next  
week and in schools
(Please note that the Robotics program went to a wait list status  
within the first 10 minutes last year, so if students are interested  
it may be wise to arrive early.)

Gear Up! – Beginning Lego Robotics
Learn the basics of robotics and computer programming in this fun,  
hands-on engineering experience.  Using the Lego RCX system, students  
will build robots from scratch.  They will write programs to bring  
their robots to life.  They will design their own robots and use the  
engineering process to solve a variety of challenges.  The course  
will conclude with a Robot Expo, an opportunity for students to  
showcase their robot creations before the public. Students need no  
prior robotic or computer experience—the only requirement is a desire  
to learn more about the fascinating world of robots!

Rising 4th – 6th graders ~ 14 students
At Jouett
June 18 – 29 ~ 8:30 am – 12 pm
Tuition $250

Gear Up! – Advanced Lego Robotics
Take your knowledge of robotics to the next level.  In the Advanced  
Robotics course, students already familiar with the Lego RCX system  
will design and build complex robots that interact with the world  
around them. Through a series of challenges, students will explore  
advanced Robolab programming, robot design, and mechanical  
engineering concepts.  This class will also conclude with a Robot  
Expo, giving students a chance to show off what they have learned and  
built.
**Students must have knowledge of Robolab or RIS programming in order  
to take this class.

Rising 6th – 9th graders ~ 16 students
At Jouett
June 18 – 29 ~ 12:30 – 4:00 pm

Once Upon a Musical
Calling all future technical managers, painters, builders, singers,  
actors, and dancers - a new performing arts program is here!   Join  
us for our summer musical workshop and hone your skills in music,  
acting, dancing, solo and ensemble singing, as well as set management  
and design. Master back-stage tech skills such as working lights,  
sound systems and building sets as we produce the 90 minute musical  
“Once Upon A Mattress” for a live, public performance.

Summer Stock is an intensive, authentic performing workshop that puts  
you on and behind stage.  After auditioning for roles and jobs,  
students will benefit from private voice lessons, acting coaching,  
music and drama lessons, instruction in choreography and stage  
management.  The curtain on our performance of “Once Upon A Mattress”  
opens at Albemarle High School on July 26, 2007.  Plan to look out  
from the stage lights and smile as you take those well-deserved bows!

Journey through Hallowed Ground I
Students are invited to move through history this summer as they  
hike, bike, canoe, and pod along the Journey Through Hallowed Ground,  
the Route 15 corridor in central Virginia boasting innumerable  
historical treasures.  Their mission is to unlock the stories and  
lessons of our nation’s history as they work with expert historians,  
archaeologists, and national park guides.  Along the path, students  
will record the trials and triumphs of leaders from the Revolutionary  
period through the Civil War using video iPods and digital cameras to  
create an original vodcast. These documentaries, which demand careful  
analysis of historical information and creative expression, will then  
be used as an authentic promotional tool by Journey Through Hallowed  
Ground organization.   Specific sites and activities include biking  
along the C&O Canal tow path and the Gettysburg battlefield, canoeing  
at Ball’s Bluff, hiking Antietam, sleuthing at Montpelier and digging  
at Ash Lawn.

Rising 6th – 8th graders ~ 24 students
At Henley
July 16 – 27 ~ varied schedules
Tuition $600

Journey through Hallowed Ground II
Students are invited to hike, bike and canoe along the Journey  
Through Hallowed Ground II.  Destinations will be different from  
Journey I, but participants will continue to work with expert  
historians, professors, archaeologists, and national park guides to  
unlock the significance of sites along the corridor. Gettysburg will  
be included in this session, as well as a canoe adventure with  
Professor John Phillips. Journey I is not a prerequisite.

Ceramics I – for credit
Do you want to design and create your morning cereal bowl?  Be  
creative, work with your hands, and shape clay to make just about  
anything you can imagine?  In this class you will make functional and  
sculptural objects with clay coils, slabs, pinch pots, and use a  
potter’s wheel.  From wedging a block of clay to bisque fires,  
glazing, and glaze firings, you will learn the ceramic process used  
by artists from various cultures for thousands of years.
