Every year, the MOE mentors hold a series of courses for new and old students alike who show an intrest in computers and engineering. Returning students are encouraged to plan and present as much of the courses as possible. Each course lasts from one to one and a half hours one nignt a week; however, hands-on courses may have multiple sessions.
Our MOE U curriculum is presented below. When courses or presentations are available they will be posted; each is an Adobe Acrobat slide show. Adobe Acrobat Reader can be obtained at no charge from Adobe.
