Kind of surprising that you brought this up.

Our family this year is hosting a boy from Germany. He came on Aug 8 and will be leaving June 28. We have been learning a lot of Germany's Culture and Food (the food is like American in most part but spicier) He will be around at Midwest Regional and most likely nationals :-)

About the student from France. I think it would be a great experience for your team Ian. Over seas (Europe) has a lot of interest into engineering. He may already know a lot about it and could teach your team a lot of tricks.

The only problem i see about this is that in France I don't think they teach English that heavily. We were looking at getting a student from France and that is what turned us away. In Germany although they start taking English in 5th Grade and EVERYONE has to take it.

I would be interested to hear what organization the exchange student is from and how he is doing. . . . . Our high school has a total of 6 Exchange Students and all are doing pretty good.
