I haven't looked at this year's NASA grant, so I am not sure what question you are referring, looking back on past applications I just answered what schools all my students are from. Because we are a 4-H team, we have students from all over the County.
This is UNLIKE the previous team I was on, where the High School had a rule, that no other students from other schools, INCLUDING homeschoolers were allowed on school property. To me, that SEVERELY limited your local reach in the community.
This question?
If the team will be comprised of students from multiple schools, please list schools here (school names only, please):
Huntington North High School
Black Hawk Christian
Homeschoolers Association
Homestead High School
The other question I see is this one:
Another critical element for the success of a FIRST Robotics Competition program within a school is the enthusiastic support of the school or group's administration. Do you have support from your senior-level administration, e.g., principal or superintendent? Yes No
If yes, please describe.
We are technically a 4-H team which is tied to Purdue University as an education extension club. We are enthusiastically supported by our local 4-H Youth Education Director and have offered help to other teams in the State of Indiana that have wanted to organize themselves as 4-H teams. We pride ourselves to be the 1st 4-H FIRST Robotics Team chartered in the State of Indiana.
I have my Youth Educator write a letter on 4-H/Purdue letterhead and send it to NASA.
