<p>Students,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>A missions organization, LightSys, invites groups of students from Christian colleges to come to Colorado Springs, CO, during their spring break to do their "Code-a-thon". During this time, students work in teams with professionals, building real apps,
programs, tools, etc., for use by real missions organizations.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We have sent a group in the past, and, as far as I could tell, everyone had a great time, and did good work. Please note that
<u>you do NOT have to be super-experienced in coding to participate and contribute.</u> Even students who have done CS108 and are in CS112 at the time can contribute.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>LightSys came to Calvin to recruit during the fall semester, and at that time about 8 students signed up for more information. At this time, only 2 or 3 have committed to going, with the others deciding not to go. We would like to get our numbers up to
6 or 7 to make the trip worthwhile.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Can you please think and pray about joining the team to go? Note that the cost is minimal -- much less than other Calvin-sponsored Spring Break trips. And, there will be money available to help defer the costs.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you are interested or have more questions, please contact Andrew Corum (amc49@students.calvin.edu). There is a deadline in a few weeks, so we need to get more signed up soon!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks.<br>
</p>
