This is the wiki-homepage of the Illinois Math and Science Academy Chapter. We are similar to a University Chapter; however, we are a high school in Aurora, Illinois.

XOs on campus
There are currently 2 XOs on IMSA's campus, but more are coming with the mid-January order. If you are interested in playing with a machine, contact April-Hope or Scott Swanson. You can also just come up to ITS (B205) sometime during the day, before 4:30.
- 1 machine with Scott, owned by Scott
- 1 machine with IMSA, floating around campus. Ask ITS for it.
Contact Information
Try April-Hope, Kevin or Scott. We also maintain an IRC channel, #olpc-imsa, on freenode.
