If you wish to explore these interests, too, you are welcome to join us also! See US Technology Head Kent Pendleton for details. All summer school technology students are requested to bring their TI calculators, a spiral notebook (journal), a three-ring binder, a pencil, pen and USB flash drive to class the first day. A “supply check” that first day will be one of your first grades for the week, so don’t forget your stuff! Also, please bring a sack lunch and a drink...refrigerators will be available.
