Summer Computing Institute / Rhode Island
The EAST/URI Summer Computing Institute
was a big success!
The Rhode Island High School Science Camps was held on the University of Rhode
Island Campus in collaboration with EAST, the University of Washington,
and the AccessComputing Alliance. URI hosted three days of fun with
hands-on, interactive activities for high school students with disabilities
who have an academic interest in science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics.
Under the direction of Dr. Ying Sun students were brought to the laboratory
facilities of URI Electrical and Biomedical Engineering Department programs.
Over the three days there were four projects:
• Robot dinosaur
• T-shirt printing
• Micro controller
based traffic light controls
• LED flashlight
Almost all the students finished all four projects. I was very proud
of them because the projects are not easy and require a lot of focus
and dexterity. It was also a very positive and pleasant experience for
me and my students to work with these young people.
