It was a public BOE meeting that anyone could attend, and we were there to present the team to a broader group of people.
Basically it was just an end of year wrap up of what we did, who we are, and what we accomplished this year and throughout our 6 years as a team - and also to remind the BOE that we exist, and we are here in the name of a good cause (enhancing technology at our school, inspiring students to enter technological fields of study, and all the rest of the ideals of FIRST.)
We also gave a hand out of what kind of technology the team has brought to the Watertown School systems
, and also brought to their attention in the handout the total amount we have had to pay them just to use the school.
This upcoming year has the potential to be a little more rocky compared to others for Team 237, so basically we need the support of a few more groups of people, the BOE included.
Last year we met with the BOE (for the first time in a couple years, or ever as a team (don't quote me on that though)) & our team was recognized by the BOE for our regional win in NJ.
What we really hope for is to hold more of a formal meeting with the BOE and us alone to discuss a few matters at hand, but until that time, we made ourselves heard at the public meeting.
