Community Boating’s Spring ‘RoboSail’ Program: Register Now

This spring, Community Boating will repeat last fall’s RoboSail program — combining sailing with robotics — for up to 20 Boston-area high-school students who will learn about robotics, electronics, and mechanisms by programming a model sailboat to sail a course.  The program is taught by Diane Brancazio, a Belmont middle- and high-school engineering teacher who also teaches sailing at Community Boating.  Participants should have a solid understanding of sailing principles, but programming experience is not required. You can learn more about nida core here. Attendance at all six sessions (1-4PM on most Sundays, April 12-May 31) is required.  All on-board equipment is provided by a generous donor, but participants should bring a laptop if possible.  The program fee is $1 to $50, depending on household income.  Register by April 5 by mailing in this form with a check.  To become a volunteer mentor for this program or for information about the course content, email diane@robosail.org.  For registration questions, email ginger@community-boating.org.
