Re: Team Homes for Home Schoolers

Even though we operate out of our high school, Team 1124 (Hartford, CT area) has no residency/schooling/other requirements as far as membership goes. If you're in the area, show up one day - we'll be glad to have you.

Re: Team Homes for Home Schoolers

Team 2584, Reseda Regents Robotics, has always had at least one member who is not attending Reseda HS including home schooled kids. We have even made a presentation to the San Fernando Valley Home School Parent group. The idea of competitive robotics was completely foreign to everyone there, and I think some thought I was trying to sell them something, but they were all very nice. So we will go back again this fall and try again. Most of the parents said that the kids were all booked up with other activities and that as a group they tend to move slowly, plan a lot, before they do something new.

The references have indeed been helpful in a sense. And thank you so much for those! For the most part, but not sure yet, they don't feel that there is much hope unless we move to FTC. On the other hand, others have said that the laws in VA are not being handled appropriately and could be made to serve better. These of course are not lawyers...

There's still a long way to go on my personal front.

for this thread, I'm just trying to get more home schoolers involved in FRC nation wide! And information access is where you start.

Team 1640 (Downingtown/Exton, PA) is always open to home schoolers. In fact, our captain this year is home schooled. We're not district-affiliated, so anyone who's ok with the drive is welcome. Many of our students commute 30min+, some ~1 hour. (Mentors are even crazier, anywhere from 45min-2.5 hours.)

FRC 1640 - Team Sab-BOT-age - Downingtown/Exton, PA - verified by team mentor

Our FLL club is also community-based, making it open to home schoolers as well. Also, I'd check with MOE Robotics (Delaware...basically all of it), as I'm virtually positive they're open to home school students, too.

For yourselves, I count 8 teams in the Richmond area. I know some teams must have school-driven policies behind membership, but I'd think someone could at least point you in the right direction.

Yes, MOE 365, since it is not affiliated with a school, has always been open to anyone from anywhere, and has had several home-schooled students in the past. (Don't think we have one this year but I'm not sure).

Re: Team Homes for Home Schoolers

Our team is creating a database of homeschool-friendly teams and would like to update this thread. If your team is primarily homeschooled students or accepts homeschooled students and haven't already posted in here, please do so.

Thank you!
