As an Alumni representative of the International Summit of Young Technology Leaders 2002 (we just changed over to NYLF-Tech) I'd be happy to answer your questions. Only sophmores and juniors are allowed to attend unless as a senior you are an alumni representative. This is a nice 10 day funtion with seminars and site visits you can attend (they're optional), the speakers are people like Michael Dell (its more computer oriented) and the rumor has it Steve Jobs and the crew that founded Apple (well a few of them) will be amongst the guest speakers this year. I personally nominated two from 180 (my team) and one from 179. last year there was two from 128 (Ashiegh and Katie) and one from 312 (Andrew T.). Only four of us robotics nuts. I haven';t convinced my parents yet and the application is due January 29th. My ID at the NYLF-Tech boards is usfrist180spam and e-mail me at
f14aplusfl@yahoo.com Last year it was in Austin so it was local companies that some of us have never heard of like Motive Communications, others went to nearby colleges (the program they sent you should give a good clue). Whatever you do, tackle the dilemma project like the us F.I.R.S.T. robotics game and you'll do fine. Contact me if you need to, I'd be happy to answer any questions or forwad them up the appropriate channel.
