| order to make you happy and get you to join our geek kingdom we are | |
| offering a bunch of cool classes that will benefit you greatly. One of | |
| them is the Robotics class. After attending this class you will have a | |
| little Robot at your service that will do everything that you wish, | |
| including dishes and laundry. Not quite. Apologies for any possible | |
| disappointment. Attendance in this class will instead offer you skills | |
| applicable to today’s real world needs. You will be closer to | |
| understanding logic, mechanics, electronics, and computer control</font></td> | |

| use of wireless data transfers, light and touch sensors you can command | |
| the robots to move within their surroundings. You will be building these | |
| little machines in teams of 6 people. Soon after you will be able to | |
| compete with other teams and see whose robot lasts the longest in a | |
| one-on-one robot survival of the fittest. If you thing that this sounds | |
| cool, and you would like to have a friendly robot by your side, let us | |
| know and we will make it happen.</font></center><font face="Arial" size="2"><br> | |

| <br> | |
| He is very friendly to | |

| cards, newsletters, and other projects. This software includes an | |

| which allow you to add sound and movement to graphic or typing.<br> | |
| For those who are having trouble starting a | |
| project, Creative Writer 2 has project ideas, which are templates for | |
| projects. During January and February Computer Safari students have been | |
| exploring Creative Writer, creating an array of projects. Elementary | |
| students have made family newsletters for the New Year, which included | |
| their resolutions and goals for this year 2000. Our latest project was a | |

| Q. Should I leave my computer on or off when I am | |
| not using it?</font> | |
| <p><font face="Arial" size="2">(by Jason -The Young Geek)<br> | |
| <br> | |
| If you only use your computer for about one | |
| hour a day, you should turn it off and leave it as such until you need | |
| to use it again. Since the computer is running at a constant | |
| temperature and voltage, this will make its components last longer.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| If you visit your computer often (say, 10 minutes | |
| intervals) you should leave it on and power it down at night. However | |
| your computer will not be hurt by leaving it on all night. Microsoft | |
| Windows has a program that automatically switches your hard drive into a | |
| low power mode after 30 minutes of inactivity, which does not use much | |
| electricity.</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Arial" size="2"> Thus it is healthier for your computer, if you are | |
| using it constantly, to leave it on all day or overnight.</font></p> | |
