Message-ID: <1403643776.3846.68.camel@noemu> Howdy! Thanks so much for signing up for the OpenEd Jam - Announcements mailing list. We only have four weeks til the event and we have some exciting updates! I just wanted to send a quick email out to let everyone know that registration is open for the 3-day conference as well as for the Turtle Art Day. Also, we have received a donation of gas cards for teachers traveling from out of town. Conference registration: If you plan to attend and haven't registered yet, please do so. We are needing to give estimates for catering and such. Registration for the conference is $75 ($25 for students). It includes all of the awesome programming we have in store as well as a light breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Registration: www.openedjam.org/registration Turtle Art Day: If you have kids ages 8-12, sign them up for Turtle Art Day! It's a free event for kids to learn the basics of the graphical programming language. One of the keynote speakers, Walter Bender, will be facilitating the session on Turtle Art. Turtle Art is a graphical programming language designed to allow kids to explore geometry and programming by creating art. No previous programming experience required. To register your kids for Turtle Art Day, go to: www.turtleartdaybyopenedjam.eventbrite.com $25 Gas cards for teachers A generous donor has given the OpenEd Jam team a number of $25 gas cards specifically for teachers coming to the event from out of town.
