We're holding a NEMO meeting at BattleCry - any interest in holding one at WIWI? If so, I will contact the organizers and see if we can arrange for it.

I'll be facilitating a NEMO workshop at this event; if you miss the ones at BattleCry and Beantown Blitz, plan to stop by this one. It's great to connect with other mentors and share ideas.

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

only 9 teams so far?
i know theres more teams in Connecticut that that d=

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

Do you mean Aces High 176?

Well Aces High is planning on attending. We'll be using this competition to begin a transition from the veteran pit/drivers to who ever wants to be involved next year. Unfortunately during the heat of a regional, some students don't have the opportunity to try something new. We'll be using this off season event to get underclassmen to try new things.

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

It's the same day as Saunders, so I'd imagine that Fairfield teams would lean towards Yonkers.

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

What's Saunders?

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

Sorry for the typo, it is Team 176.

We now have 11 teams. We still need more. This is our first invitational, conveniently located in Southern/Central Connecticut. It would be awesome if we can fill up the 24 available seats. We're about half way there.

Teams who are registered- it would be greatly appreciated if you can help spread the word. If you can talk to other teams that you know in the area, and maybe even send them the information, it would be a HUGE help, and bringing us one step closer to putting this in motion.

Thanks for your support.

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

Also, as mentioned before, there will be awards to give out at the end. One of our mentors told us tonight that there are 16 awards being given out. We only have 11 teams to give them to so far. Some of them include:

Best Design
Spirit Award
First to Find Wolcott

and of course, the invitational winners.

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

I figured I would personally testify that Team Gus has the most delicious pulled pork sandwiches you will ever encounter in your life. Seriously. I would come just for the food.

Really, though, this invitational is looking good. Our team has been putting a lot of work into it and it should be a fun day for everyone who attends (and an exciting one, look at the registered teams!). All we need now is the full 24 teams for a perfect start.

I'm excited already.
