Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

I've been away from Robotics for a while, and don't have my team's current submission for this year. I'll post it as soon as I get it from them or have them post it. But here is a quick highlight of what our team has been up to.

1. Helping start FRC teams in our community, and also mentoring FLL and FRC teams.
2. Being involved with George Mason University and engineering classes being recognized as college credit for Systems Engineering courses.
3. Alumni starting FIRST organization on college levels to help out local teams and hold workshops. Internships and Scholarships from our sponsors and FIRST. Last year, seniors scored around $800,000 in scholarship for 4 year college.
4. Business Structure, that has won us two Entrepreneurship awards. It is also the basis of our fundraising strategies including Corporate Presentations (Brown Bag Lunches) and recruitment.
5. Partnership with Smithsonian Institute, mainly National Air and Space Museum in Chantilly VA. Students make the core base of their summer internship and discovery station volunteer program. Several Robots have been showcased at the events like Space Day and Air and Scare (Halloween). Featured robots are not only from FRC, but other projects like Ghost Bot that gives out candy and Mars Rovers.
6. Increasing girls involvement with a program/class called Girls Exploring Engineering GE^2. Currently, our team consists of 1/3 female members with 2/3 in leadership.
7. Getting involve in school activities and showcasing robots around school and on school News.
8. Getting a media exposure through the help of local newspaper and channels.
9. Holding events like FLL regional Tournament and Science and Technology Fair, annually.
10. Our on going program with Fairfax County Public School, known as FirstSTEP; where the students help make customize robotics wheelchair for kids with different disabilities. Includes a Switch-Activated Baby walker, Voice Activated Wheelchair, Micro-Switch Wheelchair, etc.
11. Current students helping at George Mason's Neural Engineering Lab.
12. Plans with Children's Museum of Northern Virginia for a Robotics Gallery, designed by Students and Mentors of 612.

These are just some of the points on top of my head.
CONGRATS to all the Chairman's Award Winners; and 612 is glad to be competing against such great teams.
