Re: How are your teams recognized by your schools?
Novi High School and Frog Force has had a long lasting relationship.
Novi considers Robotics as a varsity sport, and properly gives out varsity letters to students on the Robotics team. Our Season is always being updated by out school's T.V., newspaper, and radio broadcasting departments. Out Art department even made sure to include the FIRST logo on our school mural, which represents everything out school stands for.
We are blessed to be able to work in our school's tech wing so students can come and check up on how the robot is doing throughout the season. Novi provides us with a showcase to show off our awards and accomplishments. We are even able to bring in our robots to Sci-Fi and Physics classes and add to the curriculum.
Lastly, it’s cool to see how much our school has changed because of our team. At Novi, you can now take classes on almost every part of the robot making process (Computer Programming, 3-D CAD, Materials Processing, ect..). What’s even cooler is a few years back our team began our "Frog Green Initiative" to promote going green within our community, and now you can recycle paper and plastic in every classroom at our school.
Those are some things you guys can think about when it comes to how you want your team to be a part of your school!
Good luck with the 2011 season!
