The Digsipired ii program completed another successful Fall Academy on October 22, 2011.  Students worked diligently on their programming skills using Microsoft C# software.  During the Fall Academy, Digispired students visited the Univeristy of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Computer Science department.  The students participated in several hands-on demo's presented by UNC graduate students.  On October 22, the students visited the VIPER project at the Virginia International Raceway where they were able to experience a race car simulator first hand. Students also visited the Riverstone Energy Center in South Boston.  While there, they learned about advanced manufacturing.  We are looking forward to the Spring Academy 2012.
