Because students burnout to. If the build season was just one weej longer last year, it would have been great for our small team. But build season always hurts our grades, and adding another week of suboptimal schoolwork would have put many of the students on my team even farther behind. There are still plenty of ways to continue the stem experience, like watch week 1 competitions or preparing for competition. Extending the build season will not expamd the experience any farther than it already is, but wil insteadl negatively the students.
