TECH Canada (The Economic Consultancy House of Canada) will be hosting a Robotic Competition for children at the South Asian Business Festival. The participants will be categorized by ages: Juniors (8-11 years old) and Seniors (12-16 years old). Application deadline is April 7th 2007. For further information, please visit www.techcanada.org/robotics or call 1-888-224-0969. Selected participants will receive comprehensive training for five weeks by our professional trainers. Apart from the technical skill, the young minds will also learn many essential skills such as higher-order thinking, problem solving, project planning, practical creativity, decision making and leadership skills. The event is organized by TECH Canada in partnership with the Tamil Academy Of Culture and Technology and the University of Moratuwa Tamil Alumni Association of Canada.
From forensics to robotics Students get a taste of the high-tech world
HAVERHILL - A 28-year-old drug dealer is arrested on charges of selling illegal drugs to high-school students. Police want to put the man away but will need technical assistance.
The alleged dealer is believed to have left incriminating evidence on a computer floppy disk police retrieved from his home. Now they need help recovering the suspect's deleted, corrupted or hidden data from that disc.
It's the kind of information police hope to use as evidence in a trial.
Students from Methuen and Haverhill high schools were on the case yesterday when Northern Essex Community College hosted its first Engineering and Technology Day - which was in the college's Technology Center.
The event introduced high-school students to fields of engineering and technology through a variety of lectures and demonstrations on topics such as robotics, electric circuits, computer games, and of course, computer forensics - the science of retrieving lost or corrupted data from a computer storage device such as a floppy disk or hard drive.
Freedom of press in Bangladesh
We are now passing through a time when many feel insecure and unsafe. Violent robbery, where stabbing or shooting can lead to being wounded or even death, is no longer a rarity for those travelling outdoors any more than those at home. Abduction is similarly no rare visitation. Violent vengeance is the reaction these days to any slight, intentional or non-existent. No wonder the public reaction is equally desperate, when any cry for help sounds from the victims. Lynching of the culprits pointed out is frequently the dreadful result. Since this is the scenario for the general citizenry, it can be no surprise that journalists, especially those who go for improving the country's status by exposing those hindering all kinds of development, get threatened and, tragically killed, a few of them brutally.
IRCC photonics, robotics classes fill high-tech niche
Indian River Community College students Zach Phillips and Holly Larson work on wiring a digital clock based on schematics provided by the teacher during their logic circuits class in Fort Pierce. This class provides some of the basic knowledge needed by the students to advance into the school's photonics program. .
