The only students I know of at the moment who have the skills are interested in robotics and code in C, but I have not been in contact with them for a year or two. I'll talk to their parents about next year.

You can google that. --On Friday, November 05, 2010 15:23 -0400 Jacob Todd wrote: > > Code-in? Could you elaborate? > On Nov 5, 2010 1:22 PM, "EBo" wrote: >> Google just announced a code-in.
