Kokomo Kickoff
We are beginning to gear up for another Kokomo remote Kickoff.
But... we won't have any workshops during the kickoff, just:
1. Satellite broadcast video viewing
2. Kit pick-up
3. Viewing of playing field components
We polled the Indiana FIRST teams, and they said that hosting workshops during the kickoff is simply too late... they wanted them earlier.
So... we just got done with our second annual "Indiana FIRST Teams Workshop", and a good time was had by all. Over 280 people showed up to the workshop sessions. Many of the sessions were standing room only.
Next year, we gotta get bigger rooms!
We have come to the conclusion that many of these workshop sessions need to be conducted now instead of waiting for kickoff. Also, during kickoff, teams want to get their kit, go home, and get started ASAP.
Having these simple remote kickoffs are a good thing. Being able to provide workshops is good, but they are more productive if held in the fall, like the Indiana Workshops were held.
