https://forms.gle/UtGvjq75vJ26oipf7 Please visit this form. It is very helpful for organizers to see how many students would join, and plan for the details of the camp. Only 3 questions are mandatory and others are optional. Michael Chen 1P and Alexander Qi 1P will teach the 2024 AGA summer Go camp, July 5-11. Even if you‘ve not decided yet, as long as you‘re interested in the AGA Summer Camp, please pre-register! Unfortunately if the pre-registration is too few (e.g. <6), then, the camp may be canceled. Chen 1P won five regional tournaments in 2023, and the Princeton graduate is also a famed streamer. Qi 1P became a Pro in summer of 2022, and has since represented North America competing in four world championships: Lanke Cup (twice), M-Lily Cup, Chunlan Cup and Ing Cup. The Global Community Learning Center, a group with about a dozen extracurricular teachers led by Dinny Li, will help organize the summer camp. Currently the camp inclines to provide 1~1.5 hours of activities daily (e.g. outdoor, statistics 101, coding 101, chess 101 and finance/economics 101), in addition to 5~5.5 hours of Go training.
