Regional students participate in University of Idaho's coding and robotics camp
Jun. 21—MOSCOW — It may not be a summer camp in the traditional sense, but the University of Idaho's summer Robotics Coding Camp is helping local students learn skills that can help them in the future. Regional middle and high school students spent a week on the Moscow campus learning about computer programming and engineering. The students typed and clicked away at their computers mastering skills many people don't learn until they are older. Erin Lanigan, UI assistant director of student engagement and STEM outreach, said one of the goals for the program is to help prepare students for entering the workforce where computer science and engineering skills are among the top needs. At this age, they are beginning to decide what they want to do when they grow up. "They have to see it to know they can be it," she said. Moscow Middle School student Corinne Bowersox, 12, already has a job in mind. "I'm actually interested in being a NASA engineer," she said. During this week's camp, she used coding to create her own video game where the goal is to catch fortune cookies and eggs before they hit the floor. She also learned how to control a small robot on wheels. She said coding is an easy way to learn a new hobby and people can share their work with other creators.

Goldman Warns Oil Below $40 Is Possible in ‘Extreme' Scenario
(Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc. — fresh from cutting oil forecasts twice in a week — said Brent has the outside potential to fall below $40 a barrel under 'extreme' outcomes as the trade war flares and supplies rise. The Irish Hot Press Is the Low-Tech Laundry Trick the World Needs This Skinny Mexico City Tower Is Just 14 Feet Wide on One Side Housing Agency Aims to Relocate Its DC Headquarters Boston Mayor Wu Embraces Trump Resistance as Campaign Heats Up Trump Order on CDFI Fund Risks Aid for Small Businesses, Housing 'In a more extreme and less likely scenario with both a global GDP slowdown and a full unwind of OPEC+ cuts, which would discipline non-OPEC supply, we estimate that Brent would fall just under $40 a barrel in late 2026,' analysts including Yulia Grigsby said in an April 7 note. That view does not represent the bank's current base-case outlook, which has Brent at $55 next December. The global oil market has been rocked in recent sessions as the Trump administration's escalation of the trade war, plus pushback from some other economies including China, raised recessionary risks and headwinds for energy consumption. At the same time, OPEC+ has pivoted, adding more barrels back than had been expected after a long period of supply restraint. Against that backdrop, banks including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Societe Generale SA have cut base-case forecasts, as well as exploring less-likely bearish and bullish outcomes. That's common practice for commodity watchers as they scope out scenarios under different conditions. Assuming a 'typical' US recession, plus baseline expectations for supply, Brent was seen at $58 a barrel this December, and $50 in the same month next year, the Goldman analysts said in the note, titled 'How Low Could Oil Prices Go?' Brent was last at $63.90 a barrel, after hitting a four-year low on Monday. --With assistance from Sarah Chen.
