Re: How many rookies do you have on your team?
All of our team members are rookies except 3 seniors.
Last year the team was composed of nearly all seniors, and they were really worried about the team continuing. Ya know what they did? They invited a whole bunch of freshmen high schoolers to go with them to a competition in Chicago to see what everyone was working so hard for.
Lets just say this idea worked! Nearly all the rookies on the team this year either went on that trip or heard about it from those who did go and got interested.
I was one of those freshmen last year, and I was so hooked. I found myself in the very heart of FIRST: the teamwork, the excitement, the incredible engineering, and all that jazz! I couldn't wait until I could be a part of this program, and I'm sure the other rookies that went feel the same.
