Greetings Tenacious Tigers! The month of June 2022 has been designated (LGTBQIA+) Pride Month. During the month of June, communities across the United States and the world recognize the role of LGBTQIA+ rights activists and commemorate the Stonewall Riots that occurred in June of 1969, an event widely recognized as the catalyst for the LGBTQIA+ rights movement. The observance affirms the celebration and recognition of the status and rights of LGBTQIA+ students, staff, and families in the Prince George’s County Public School System. To show our support for our LGBTQIA+ students, staff, and community, CMIT South MS/HS will host "CMIT PRIDE DAY" on June 22nd. Students and staff are encouraged to wear rainbow/pride gear and bring in their Pride flags on this day. Students who wish not to participate are not required and will need to be in school uniform. If there are any questions, please reach out to Dr. Borden-McCarter.

Learn with Leaders is inviting applications for The Autonomous Mini-RACECAR (Robotics) Program - designed as an introductory course in robotics for students with some programming experience. In this course, students will be working with a virtual RACECAR in a custom-built simulation (designed by MIT Beaver Works Summer Institute). The program is spread over 6 Saturdays (Labs). Each Lab consists of a lecture, an exploration component, and a series of hands-on challenges. These labs grow in complexity, beginning with basic tasks such as driving in shapes and building to important concepts in robotics including SLAM, sensor fusion, and path planning. At the end of this course, students will apply everything they have learned to complete the final grand challenge which combines elements from each lab. Program Faculty - Dr. Masoumeh Mansouri is a lecturer at the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham - Fatma Faruq is a Research Assistant in the Verification and Autonomy Group at the University of Manchester. Curriculum Partner - MIT Beaver Works Summer Institute is a rigorous, world-class STEM program for rising high school seniors. The goal of MIT Beaver Works Summer Institute is to improve engineering education worldwide by providing unparalleled technical content and support. Further Opportunities - Participants get to work on physical Race Cars in Level 2 of the program (to be launched at a later date) - Top two teams of the Level 2 program can participate in the 2022 MIT BWSI Racecar Challenge in the MIT Campus. (Will depend on the pandemic situation / lock-downs at that point of time) Only a small cohort of high school students from across the world will be selected for the program.
