Amanda Morrison is Nationally Published!
 

Hey gang,

I'm not normally into self-gratitude, but I'm making an exception here. You may recall that I made a prediction over here. Looks like it's coming true already.

Amanda is nationally published. With a cover story no less.

If you want to read the whole article, you need to find a copy of the magazine residing with your closest Technology Educator. Tech Directions is THE national publication for Technology Educators in the US and it has a HUGE subscription base. It highlights the FVC program in great detail, presents all FIRST programs and the overall message, and offers contact info for interested parties.

One week before FVC kickoff, this couldn't be timed better. The educational revolution is under way and our short, poor-donut-eating friend is one of the catalysts.

Rock on.

Congratulations Amanda! What a wonderful achievement!

Re: Amanda Morrison is Nationally Published!
 

Wow, Amanda is now a great role model...even though she was before too...:rolleyes:

Re: Amanda Morrison is Nationally Published!
 

Wow, and some of us go our whole lives without being published! Congratulations, Amanda!
That is a great cover photo too! That alone will draw people to the article!

Re: Amanda Morrison is Nationally Published!
 

Congrats to Amanda! She's been definately one of my heroes in FIRST! :D

Re: Amanda Morrison is Nationally Published!
 

And, to boot, the cover features a SPAMmer. (Is that Gary Dillard behind her and to the right?)

I haven't heard of TechDirections, but if Rich is to be believed (and why wouldn't one believe Kres?) then this is awesome news. For all the threads we've seen lately about trying to recruit teachers, it's good to know that we're aiming for them in particular.

Nothing like even more to get you revved up for the next FVC season, eh? ;)

Re: Amanda Morrison is Nationally Published!
 

Wait, Amanda does something in between losing contests to high profile FIRST figures? :ahh:


Congratulations Amanda, hope this really packs in some new teams

Re: Amanda Morrison is Nationally Published!
 

Way to go Amanda! Now I really believe that one day I'm going to open up a dictionary and for the word "inspiration" it's going to say "See Amanda Morrison".

Great Job Amanda! I wish i could read the article and all, hopefully sometime in my life i will see it. I bet it's an excellent article and everyone would enjoy it.

Re: Amanda Morrison is Nationally Published!
 

Few people outside the FIRST community seem to understand how a non-techie can get involved and make a difference. When recruiting undergraduates, I always get confused looks when I ask if there are any Communications/Journalism majors in the house :)

It's great as always to hear about your involvement and how you further FIRST's reach and inspire others. Keep it up!

Re: Amanda Morrison is Nationally Published!
 

I didn't even know you could write! Seriously, it always great to see a friend's name in print. Nice going!

Re: Amanda Morrison is Nationally Published!
 

Go Amanda! Did you give them a snickers?

Re: Amanda Morrison is Nationally Published!
 

Congrats to Amanda!

And that's Gary Dillard behind Sydney. Nice to see 180 making a cover lol. And again thank you Amanda for always being a great person in the FIRST community and role model. :)

Re: Amanda Morrison is Nationally Published!

Re: Amanda Morrison is Nationally Published!
 

So its now a two-for-one! Amanda is published and you are famous! And as I said before, that is a great photo and will draw many in to read the article!

Can you tell us more about the photo?
