A Few Ads...

It is hard to believe the end of another year is upon us!  We finished our fall semester on Tuesday.  The books have been left to gather a little dust, and we are in the full swing of preparing for Christmas.  We don't have many ads this month.  In fact, I think this is the first time we have ever sent a Digest in December.  But we did want to let you know about a couple of great opportunities that came our way in the last couple of weeks. 
The Digest will be back in January with more homeschool doings and more posts on the blog.  Until then, all of us at the PHEA office wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

The Home School Resource Center is offering two robotics courses for the spring semester.  The middle school level course uses the LEGO robotics technology and focuses on the basics of robotics and programming.   The high school level course will cover basic C++, how to work with electronics components and the basics of Ohms Law.
