Akash ~
I wish you and your school all the very best. The transition will be rough. Be kind. Be strong. And, Good Luck!
At Eastside Memorial HS, the Robotics Team has become a rallying point of PRIDE for the campus! And they are recruiting!
The campus was seen as damaged. Perhaps un-salvageable. The students as: 'At least they are not at OUR school.' It was totally disrespect and bad reputation. And some of our kids believed it, too.
But the higher skills of math & science demonstrated by this Team; the proven talent and dedication and grace of these young people is pulling up the image of the whole campus, perhaps state-wide. :-D
NOW They are being noticed, in a GOOD way.
They are heading to universities around the country! Nice.
So, in my opinion, Yes! Team 3553 can lead the way to that brighter future.
Believing it is the FIRST step.
a final tip: Pass along your gratitude to the incoming staff. They are brave to come help your school. They are a little nervous, too. Help them. All of you.
Blessings to you, your Team, and your school.
Toni R.

I'd love to talk to the mentors/founders/teachers of this team in person to gain some advice on how my team should move forward.
