Jill heads up the International competition for underwater robotics. She will be teaching three workshops; one Friday afternoon and two on Saturday. Dr McKone has directed and coached several Co-Lin teams to international awards in underwater robotics. We are in for a treat with these two experts in this field.
Each workshop will be limited to 20 attendees. High school and college students can attend.
The conference cost will be $50 plus $25 if you want to attend one of Jill’s Workshops. As we did last year we will have breakout sessions on a variety of relevant topics. 
We will continue our development of the Employable Skills Set for K-12. Employable Skills are industry recommended skills we need to teach our students. These skills can be threaded into any STEM-related curriculum. All attendees will receive a Student Employable Skills Checklist so you can start assessing your students in this area.
