Promised updates to previous OCSTA event presentations are up:

• BEC STEMConnect 2016 Impact and Stakeholder reports posted. 

• Summarized: Chris Stephenson from Google on “And Now the Hard Work Begins: Achieving the Promise of Computer Science Education”, original slides included.

• Summarized: Exploring CS and NCWIT resources for inclusive CS education with Joanne Goode, UO, and Jane Krauss, NCWIT. Original slides included.

FTC Robotics Season is off to a great start:

• Check out the FTCOregon blog. 

• The FTCOregon facebook page has links to the livestreamed 30 hour robot build by Batteries in Black. They were kinda tired last time I checked.

Raspberry Pi, the very economical DIY computer, has exceeded their own expectations. They have shipped their ten millionth unit, and in celebration will be offering a new kit, soon to be available outside the UK. Cost looks like about $132 plus shipping and tax.
