We are holding two larger Alice/Alice & Media Computation workshops in Las Vegas (July 25-30th) and Orlando (August 9-13). The Alice / Alice & Media Computation workshops are sponsored by a grant from the NSF. The cost of the workshop and materials will be free. We will be asking for a check to cover registration/ hotel cost ($500)– which will be returned if the participant attends all four days of the workshop. The reasoning behind this is, since this is a sponsored workshop, we must gather data from the participants on what they learn, how they understand the material, etc. This, of course, cannot be done if the participant does not stay for the entire workshop. Therefore, should you decide to join one of these workshops, the only cost to you would be transportation – and the grant refunds you $100 toward that cost, as well. And, since these are being run at destination resort locations, we invite your family to join you, and you can extend your visit at the hotel on either end of the workshop at the workshop rate.

The Alice portion of this workshop will be held on two levels: 1) for more beginners and 2) for more advanced users. Because Media Comp deals with more advanced topics and Java, prior knowledge of Java is necessary.

Please contact Barbara at bconover@sju.edu for registration and questions.
