First-SME
 

What about FIRST-SME are we gonna vote again this year? I hope they have it again i think its neat having thoes little cards. Specially showing off to the kids how much lower my number is than thiers.

Um....Could you please explain to the old lady who is new to all of this, what FIRST-SME is? If it is a part of FIRST culture, I'll need to know for the book.

Thanks.

FIRST-SME is a partnership between FIRST and SME or the society of manufacturing engineers. Since 2000 they have given membership id cards to anyone who filled out a survey on thier website. On the card it has a FIRST code of ethics and the fron has your name, membership # and the date you applied. The website is

hope this helps

Thank you so much. All of these little details really help. Sometimes even if you don't mention them in your writing, all of those little things that go into creating characters and scenarios help make it more real when it finally hits the page. Knowing your subject is manditory.
Thanks again for your help.

i went to the sme sight yesterday hoping to register for a new card for this season, i guess i am too early for this year, oh well, cant wait to vote and get a new one, I crave the kickoff!

i hope we do get to vote on them again this year. they really are cool to show off, but we didn't really use them for much. i had the impression that we might need them to get into places or something like that. (although they make great straight edges for graphing in math class.)

This year the cards should be able to open some "Secret Door at the End of the Hall that's been marked 'Do Not Enter'" kinda thing.

Absolutely. When I wear my card people ask what it's for and I don't have anything good to tell them. This would be brilliant!!!

Muah. I usually tend to get 2 or 3 SME cards per year. I sign up for it once. Then my dad signs me up for it. Then I sign up for it again since I can't remember if I did before. :P

Last year they randomly sent both my dad and I teo cards each. We only signed up once though.

Like the snack room with a whole room full of our favorite foods and beverages? :D

Like Ramen noodles and Moxie? :-P

i like that snack room idea! FOOD!

Hows about everyone with a SME card gets to ride a segway! Thatd be sweet.
