Workshop Information

If your team has a regional workshop coming up you’ll want to be sure to review all of the information included below!

Emails and Firewalls

Everything here has been or will also be emailed to registered team leaders, but we understand that aggressive spam filters and firewalls at schools sometimes prevent our emails from getting to everyone. If you did not receive any emails, please contact us so we can get you all the information you need.

RSVP!

It’s very important that all teams RSVP prior to the regional workshop to let us know that you are coming. Remember up to 3 people can attend the workshop. Please email Marci Corey (mcorey@kipr.org) at least one week in advance before your workshop.

Laptop Computers

Please remember - you need to have administrative privileges to install new software on any laptops you bring to the workshop. Be sure to check with your school's IT department and make certain you have the passwords and privileges you need to do this!

Team Home Base The Team Home Base (THB) is now open! Prior to the workshop you can log on and check out the Botball Resources area of the THB. You should use your team code as the user name and the password that was emailed to you. If you did not receive your password, please contact Marci Corey (mcorey@kipr.org) and she can re-send it to you.

Download Workshop Materials in Advance!

After the Oklahoma Workshop in January, we will have the workshop and game documents available to all teams on the Team Home Base. BEFORE YOU COME TO THE WORKSHOP you need access the Team Home Base (http://homebase.kipr.org/) and download all of the "Workshop Documents", "Game Documents" and the KISS software onto a flash-drive or the computer you are bringing so you have all the files before you arrive.

You can contact our office for help at support@kipr.org or (405) 579 4609.
