[ale] Fwd: GA Tech searching for summer IT instructors for teen program

[Aaron Ruscetta]

Seemed there might be some qualified and interested people
here in ALE for these teaching opportunities.  I've always cherished
teaching work and I'd love to apply here myself if I felt more
capable to the specifics and was available in their time frame.

Subject: GA Tech searching for summer instructors

Hi-

A friend sent me word about teaching opportunities math and computer
science open at GA Tech.
The courses are for 8-10th graders and are part of the TIP program,
which is a partnership with
Duke University to reach out to gifted students.  https://tip.duke.edu/

I'm forwarding this to you all because of your connections to
education and/or technology
science folks. Please pass along the word to anyone appropriate.

Below is brief description of the courses they are looking for instructors for,
as well as a contact for questions.

Thanks!
Lisa

TIP Instructional Needs for GA Tech: Term 3, Last 3 Weeks in July 2018:



Applications, Algorithms, Computers: Modern Programming

How does Google instantly find the relevant websites when you type a
word into the search bar?
How does a city know the most efficient route that their trash
collectors should take? Explore the
ways that computer scientists develop algorithms, processes, and
programs that allow complicated
problems to be addressed in meaningful ways. Go beyond simply
understanding how to create
computer programs and understand the mathematics that drive the
adaptation of these programs
to many fields of study, including medical sciences, aerospace,
business and physical sciences.
Some computer programming experience is beneficial, but not required.

Artificial Intelligence

While science fiction has a long history of intelligent machines, we
now live in a world in which
these machines are reality—and you can learn the skills to work in
this exciting field. We can
hold conversations with Siri on our iPhones, watch computers defeat
the world's greatest
chess players, and might soon ride around in driverless cars. These
new technologies require
artificial intelligence, which is the study and development of
technology that can reason,
deduct and, basically, act human. Learn the programming necessary to
work in machine
intelligence development, and explore the origins of AI as well as
modern areas of research,
including language processing, perception, motion, and manipulation.

Spy 101: Cryptology and Number Theory

The history of cryptology, the art of enciphering and deciphering, is
one of the most exciting
stories of applied mathematics. It is a story of conspiracies and
intrigue, secret societies
and intelligence services, war and peace, power and money. Governments
and big corporations
have been paralyzed by code breakers, and outcomes of wars have been
influenced by
cryptologists. The ongoing race between encrypters and attackers has
led to ingenious and
elaborate coding algorithms that make heavy use of classical results
from number theory.
Approach the subject from a historical point of view, emphasizing the
elementary theoretical
aspects of number theory, abstract algebra, and cryptology. Study
monoalphabetic and
polyalphabetic substitution ciphers as well as modular arithmetic and
mathematical induction,
basic probability theory, and elementary matrix theory.
