4-H FIRST Robotics team, Exploding Bacon, will be hosting a scholarship workshop open to all high school grade levels. The workshop will be led by recent high school graduate, Marissa Goldberg, who has won over $33,000 in scholarships this year. Come join us as we show you how to attend college loan-free.

Who: 4-H FIRST Robotics team, Exploding Bacon
Where: Orange County Extension Education Center
6021 South Conway Road
Orlando, FL 32812
When: Thursday, August 11, 2011
10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. (There will be a lunch break from 11:00- 12:00, so feel free to bring a lunch)

Please RSVP by August 1st. If you have any questions, please call Marissa Goldberg at (407)288-0375.

I've attached a flyer that has all of this information. Feel free to pass it on to anyone who might be interested. Also, I am working on a scholarship website, which I will post as soon as it is done (probably in August). Hope you all can attend!

Marissa! First of all, congratulations on your success!

This is a wonderful idea for a workshop! Thank you for offering to share your tips to others. I would love to have you make your presentation available to teams too far away to attend.

Our team promotes the FIRST scholarships as part of our team recruitment but the mentors are often discouraged by the lack of efforts of the students in applying for available scholarships (FIRST and others). If your experience could help to get students more motivated to search out and apply for scholarships, that would really be a boost!

As a mentor is it VERY frustrating to see kids miss out on these opportunities. We push the kids to apply for various scholarships. In 6 years Bacon seniors have won over 300,000.00 dollars worth of scholarships, both from FIRST and other kinds.

Will this be recorded in any way?

Thank you, Cynette!

I am hoping to get the workshop videoed. Also, I am working on launching a website that will have all the information I will present at the workshop. It will probably be finished in early August.

If you have any other ways you would like the workshop to be recorded, please let me know.

By the way, here is the event on Facebook for anyone who would like to pass it on: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=132444480167698

Thank you, Cynette!

I hope to have the workshop videoed. I am also creating a website that will have all the information I'm giving at the workshop. It will hopefully be launched in August. If you have any more suggestions on how the workshop should be recorded, please let me know.
