Modeling Programming Language: NetLogo was designed, in the spirit of the [|Logo programming language], to be "low threshold and no ceiling". It teaches programming concepts using [|agents] in the form of //turtles//, //patches//, and the //observer//.[|[][|1][|]] NetLogo was designed for multiple audiences in mind, in particular: teaching [|children] in the education community, and for [|domain experts] without a programming background to model related phenomena. http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/models/index.cgi

Old News GATE Parent Meeting for Twentynine Palms Junior High

Old News: You are invited to attend a GATE Parent Meeting on Thursday, December 14th,, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM in Room 32. Parents of GATE students are welcome to drop-in during this time as their schedule permits.

Information on the following will be available:


 * GATE after-school activities.


 * Creating animations and games using Scratch programming.


 * Assembling Lego Mindstorm Robots and programming them to do things.


 * Creating paper-mache animatronics using powered by Lego motors and an Lego NXT Brick


 * Assembling and learning to play a Theremin. (A Theremin is an electronic musical instrument controlled without discernible physical contact from the player. Music is played by controlling two oscillators by positioning two hands between two antennas. One hand controls frequency and the other hand controls amplitude (volume).)


 * GATE at Twentynine Palms High School

The topic of supporting Gifted Children will be discussed and parents will have a chance to discuss the topic and share ideas with one another.

Rockets to the rescue 4H Contest This year, youth will be tasked with one mission: in light of the recent natural disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan, National 4-H Council is asking youth to design and build an aerodynamic food transportation device that can deliver a payload of nutritious food to disaster victims. Youth will learn engineering concepts, develop math skills, learn about nutrition and help solve a relevant, global issue. http://www.4-hmall.org/Product/educationalresources/2014-4-h-national-youth-science-day-kit/NYSD6.aspx?utm_campaign=NYSD14&utm_source=4HORG&utm_medium=NYSDPAGE&utm_term=LINK
