I am currently teaching a robotics class in an attempt to interest students in programming and the maker culture. I am interested in taking them on a field trip to community maker space or hacker space in Oakland and I was wondering if I could speak to someone about what you do and if this might be a good fit. I am interested in exposing my students to community robotics and citizen science. I am specifically interested in Omni labs because I know that you are run through community members and encourage creativity. Our students are 18-26 and the school offers both a degree and on the job training. My robotics class is a 3 hour class that runs for 5 Fridays in a row and begins with an introduction to programming and continues with a comprehensive robotics projects that runs from the Arduino platform. If you are interested in knowing more about us and/or feel that you could host us for a field trip, please let me know. Thank you Caitlin Cruz Science Teacher
