Re: !Poll! Does your team have an affiliation with a Univeristy
Team 612 has a unique partnership with George Mason University. The team is part of a class in Fairfax County's Chantilly Academy, connected to Chantilly High School. The academy is for science and technology classes and acts as a magnet school- students from surrounding schools commute to the academy to take science classes. One such class is "Robotics," and 6 weeks of the class consists of FIRST and only FIRST. This Robotics class, as well as a few others in the academy, such as Engineering Systems (systems engineering), Engineering Physics, and (next year) Electronics are accredited by GMU. These are in fact the only classes in Fairfax County to be accredited by a university (except for AP classes).

So no, we are not supported by a university in terms of mentors, money, or facilities, but we are affiliated with a university and supported in terms of college credit.
