Re: 2005 International Science and Engineering Fair
My Freshman and Sophomore years when I lived in Oklahoma I was active in ISEF. This was before I knew FIRST even existed. Although I've never made it to the (inter)national level, both years I had the opportunity to compete at the state level. Both years my school received the award for having the most students in attendance and best placement overall. I was also involved in the Oklahoma Junior Academy of Science which is the same project but instead of the backboard, one does a stand up presentation. I am a "If I'm gonna go, go all out" kinda guy, and I can't imagine personally having time for both Science Fair and FIRST. I've learned many of the skills I use in FIRST from ISEF and OJAS. Although in my opinion there is enough room for FIRST and ISEF in one school, they are pretty different. I prefer the feeling of being on a team instead of doing a flying project solo.
As I've said before, I'm working on bringing FIRST back home.
