The TechnoKats do have a selection process for team positions such as team leader or robot operator, and there are a few different applications for many spots. After the adults recieve these there is a voting session held during a meeting to elect these new student officials. The TechnoKats do become more strict when it comes to who gets to travel, aside from the grade requirements students must attend a certain amount of meetings and participate in a level that is approved by the adults. In the past this has come to hurt a few people when it came to traveling time, and it looks like this year they have a new "point system" to help with this. All of this is explained in great detail in the http://www.technokats.org/documents/handbook.doc . It's a great handbook that has been developed over the course of 4 or 5 years. |
Ditto with 384 Clark. We welcome anyone who his well behaved, works, and loves what they do. When it comes to travel, it changes due to money. Last year we only brought 12 to Annapolis, but another 7 students drove up on their own time and money to see us on Saturday. That's a 3-4 hour drive, and they were there before we were!
