2011 Summer Courses

A special THANK YOU to our sponsors and business partners who collaborated on this past summer’s Educator Institutes. This series of summer programs provided professional development to area teachers. The industry-led trainings allowed teachers to visit Austin area businesses, engage in hands-on learning and work in a fun and collaborative environment. The Educator Institutes offer teachers new ideas and resources to deliver to their students and we appreciate all of the educators who took time out of their relaxing summer break to participate in Skillpoint’s summer program. Have a terrific school year!

Hundreds of 9- to 14-year-olds participated in the Central Texas FIRST LEGO League (FLL) program thanks to the amazing support of parents, schools, mentors from local high tech companies, colleges and universities, and tons of volutneers. Students engaged in hands-on probelm solving with LEGO Robotics while researching real-world issues and creating their own solutions. "This event was amazing," an FLL student participant said. "My team had such a wonderful time. The energy and enthusiasm were unbelievable."
