Re: Rookie Recognition

Great idea!

Last year we had a number of grade 8 students join the team. I admit my reaction was something like "OK, you can tag along." I was completely blown away. These students are super energetic (OK, maybe a bit too much ), curious, and dedicated. Unencumbered by #highschoolproblems they volunteer for everything they can and show up to all our events. Many of them are now in leadership roles in their project subteams - and they're still only in grade 9!

A few nights ago we invited all students to present their mechanism and design ideas on a whiteboard. One new student pulled out his Surface Pro 4 and sketched up a 3D model of his idea, then connected to the projector to share his idea with the team. And he's not even on the design subteam - he's just as talented when it comes to software. Great work!
