Our son, 8, will be going to Thousand Oaks/1st Session for Intro to Robotics--5th/6th. He's very excited about the whole experience. He selected several different courses, including science, humanities and writing... but was really hoping for Robotics.

He's been in a bit of a dither lately about math... so this assignment came in handy. I explained to him that had he not done so well on the math portion of the SCAT, he may not have made it into the class. He grudgingly agreed that maybe math can be useful after all. (We are trying very patiently to get him in touch with his inner mathy...)

DW, however, just keyed into the fact that the session runs for THREE WHOLE WEEKS!!! And here I thought DS would be the apprehensive one.
