I'm mentoring high school students that are participating in a FIRST (
www.usfirst.org) Robotics Competition (FRC) team... I'm helping the software programming sub-team using Java (Arragonis's favorite
). Many of the kids started out this season not knowing anything about programming, much less how to program a robot using Java. It's very cool seeing the kid's excitement when they first see their code control the robot... even better seeing some kids just 'get it' and really dig into the code and the concepts! Brings a smile to my face every time I go!!
