Re: [moderated] Corporate Sponsorship

I like this post..... makes me "see the light".

Our corp. sponsor makes NO requirements on how well we do. None what-so-ever. In fact, as a mentor, I have been reminded several times by managers that the robot performance DOESN'T MATTER as long as we increase the number of students exposed to engineering each year. And I have to agree.

By the way, going back to the first post, our team's mission statement says that while students are learning from mentors, the students better be reminding the mentors how to have fun. I think we do a darn good job of that on most days.

Now I just have to figure out how to deal with an estimated 90+ kids next year. Yikes!!!!!!
