There are currently 19 XOs on IMSA's campus, but not all of them work properly. If you are interested in playing with a machine, or in helping to fix machines as a part of [IMSA Service Model Research Project] contact [[User:ahw|April-Hope]], [[User:kcrews|Kevin]] or [[User:ScottSwanson|Scott Swanson]]. You can also just come up to ITS (B205) sometime during the day, before 4:30 (or jabber Scott or April-Hope to see if either is still on campus after 4:30, which happens more often than they'd like to admit). If you are at home during the summer and interested in working with us, still let one of us know; we might be able to arrange something!

This is the wiki-homepage of the Illinois Math and Science Academy Chapter. We are similar to a University chapter; however, we are a public, selective, residential 10th-12th grade institution in Aurora, Illinois. We were the first high school chapter in the world.

Projects

Ongoing Projects

Small group projects

We are working in small groups on a few separate experiments. Many were started during our intersession week of January 7-11, 2008.

Chapter Wide Goals

  • Organizing a summer research group
  • Developing an after-school program for Elementary Students near IMSA
  • Evangelizing more K-12 chapters around the world

Completed Projects

XOs on campus

There are currently many XOs on IMSA's campus, but not all of them work properly. If you are interested in playing with a machine, or in helping to fix machines as a part of [IMSA Service Model Research Project] contact Alex Goins, Jim Gerry or Scott Swanson.

List of XOs on IMSA Campus

Machine Number Machine Model With Whom Problems Colors (head/body)
1 G1 Alex Goins Extra antenna Cyan/Cyan
2 G1 Mirae None Blue/Light Green
3 G1 Christine None Light Green/Blue
4 G1 Miles None Yellow/Red
5 G1 Marat None Light Blue/Green
6 G1 Derrick None Dark Green/Teal
7 G1 Aditya None Yellow/Red
8 G1 Nilesh None Orange/Purple

For reference, [*] means that the XO is part of our IMSA Service Model Research Project.

If you are an XO owner and live in the Aurora area, and are willing to lend your XO to IMSA for special projects temporarily, please contact Scott Swanson. We would be forever grateful!

Contact Information

Try Gabi Heller, Alex Goins, Jim Gerry, or Scott Swanson. We also maintain an IRC channel, #olpc-imsa, on freenode.
