I don't want to derail the good discussion that's happening here, but I just wanted to clear something up.

1114 is responsible for FLL kits getting into every Niagara district elementary school. That's a fantastic accomplishment, and one to be proud of for sure. As someone who didn't know that this accomplishment was actually a couple years old already, Karthik's speeches, and their 2012 video made it seem to me as though that was an accomplishment this year. I don't think their intention was to mislead, but I certainly assumed that it was a 2012 accomplishment, until I started watching their older Chairman's videos. Perhaps such things should be presented with dates or something. I don't really know, maybe I'm picking on something that is by-and-large a non-issue.

If you had read the essay and seen the presentation, you most likely would not have gotten this impression. The work put into convincing our school board to invest in robotics kits for every school is a very proud part of our history. However the essay and presentation focus more on what we've done with those kits since their implementation, namely the summer of 2011 project our students undertook, designing a new 5 hour robotics curriculum module, utilizing these kits, for the Grade 7 & 8 design centres.
