Based on the information that is available, two distinct possibleconstruction methods have been developed to describe the creation of St. George’s Church:MEOI (Measure, Excavate, Outside, Inside) and MSOI (Measure, Simultaneous excavation,Outside, Inside) [1]. The MEOI construction method begins with measuring out, on the surfaceof the rock, the plan dimensions which the 12 meter x 12 meter church and the 25-meter squaretrench that surrounds the church. Once the measurements were taken, the soft volcanic tufa couldbe carefully marked or scored such that the outline of the trench and the church were clearlydelineated.

. However, due to alack of emphasis on Computer Science, current instructors are not adequately equipped to teach suchcourses. Creating engaging lesson plans requires a comprehensive understanding of Computer Sciencetopics. Crucial to the success of legislative efforts like SF29, training K-12 teachers to understand theseconcepts and teach them effectively necessitates appropriate outreach from experienced institutions. Given the widespread use of technology, students have a basic understanding of Computer Science,but need refined programming skills to leverage this technology in their future professions. Waitingfor higher education to expose students to these concepts inhibits their potential and stunts theiracademic growth. Our summer outreach

Syntax refers to mistakes in spelling, punctuation, and the order of words in a program. Syntax errors are frequently identified by the compiler, but the error messages may not give the students the information needed to fix the code. The Semantic level (as adapted to the programming domain) deals with the semantics of individual statements. The Schematic level, through the use of programming plans, allows multiple statements to be grouped into semantically meaningful knowledge units. The Conceptual level deals with definable functions within the problem domain of the

In particular, the authors have had many years of experience usingMATLAB as the development environment of choice in their classes. MATLAB has beenespecially useful since robots are rarely stand alone systems. As such, they are frequentlyinterfaced with existing image processing or path planning routines, which may likely have beenwritten in one of these higher level languages.In contrast, the latest Scorbot model, the ER 4u, is no longer controlled through an RS232 typeserial link.
