CodeDay Columbia needs Computer Students and Others to Volunteer

CodeDay is a hackathon-style event for high school students. It will be held from noon February 14 to noon February 15 in IT-oLogy. More info is at http://codeday.org/columbia. This is part of a national CodeDay effort, but is being organized locally by the folks who put on the Columbia TEDxYouth conference. The organizers are looking for a variety of different volunteers to serve as staff, coding coaches, trainers, chaperones, and judges. No coding expertise is required for several of these roles, but experienced programmers are needed as well. This would be a great opportunity for the AITP students, ACM students, PMI professionals, and others to serve as mentors for the high school students. We also need help in promoting the event to relevant audiences. If you know high school students or teachers who could participate and talk up the event at their schools, I would appreciate getting their contact information. If you are interested in participating in any capacity, please let me know. Best wishes, Bob Bob Brookshire, Professor rbrook@mailbox.sc.edu Dept. of Integrated Information Technology IT-oLogy Tower, 1301 Gervais St. Suite 1010 Columbia, SC 29201 Office: 803.777.6570 Fax: 803.777.9564

Tutors for Communities in Schools in the Midlands

My name is Kelsey Raithel and I serve as an AmeriCorps member with Communities in Schools in the Midlands. We serve five schools in the Columbia area offering support to students through tutoring and mentoring services. This could potentially be a great opportunity for some of your students to get some hands on experience in the schools. If you think any of your students might be interested I have attached an information sheet to this e-mail explaining a little bit about CISM and the tutoring experience.

Tutors Needed for CSCE 101, 102, 146 and 215

My name is Melissa Ethridge and I am the Tutor Coordinator at the Dodie Academic Enrichment Center here at USC. I am trying to recruit tutors to work with our student athletes and at this time we have a high need for Computer Science. Specifically, CSCE 101, 102, 146 and 215. The Tutor Program provides subject-specific assistance to student-athletes as a supplement to the classroom learning experience. The primary responsibility of a tutor is to understand and clearly communicate course content and study skills to the tutees. One-on-one and group tutoring is available in a broad array of courses. I have attached an informational flyer & application. I would appreciate it if you could distribute this information on your department’s list-serv and forward the information specifically to professors who could recommend students as tutors or students you believe would be an asset to our program. Please let me know if this can be done, or if I need to direct my inquiry to someone else. Thank you so much,

Python Programmer Needed at Economics Department

I am looking for temporary assistance from someone competent in programming in Python. I am a professor in the economics department, and I am conducting a laboratory experiment where participants interact with software written in Python. I hired a programmer in the past to write the software, but I now need to modify the program to run some additional variations of the experiment. Thus, I need someone to take his current program and extend it. This essentially amounts to modifying the way that participants in the experiment will be paid based on their actions. I do not expect that the extensions of the program should take too much time, and I hope that it would be done within a month of starting. Please get in touch with any questions. I will be happy to pass along the existing program and more information on the desired modifications. Daniel Jones Assistant Professor of Economics daniel.jones@moore.sc.edu
