Our team had a Tea With the Robots evening on Thank Your Mentor Day, which was January 25th. We had our administrators come down, teachers, parents, etc. I explained the game to them using the wonderful animation done by Dave Lavery, and each of them looked at me and said "I never knew how wonderful this is...I'm so glad I came!" The day really opened their eyes to what we're all about...what FIRST is all about.
Thank you for responding, Dorienne. This is what others need to hear.....for some ...getting the letters are important.....for those who were successful in achieving that......we need to share ideas that worked.
