Re: Who does the programming for your team?
While I would love for our team to have students do all of the programming, I've had trouble finding students interested in do it. In my 3 years with 1437, last year was the first time I had a student with interest, but she had no previous experience and didn't join the team until January, so while we discussed the theory and concepts together, I did the programming.

This year I'm with 2014, and it appears I'll have the same problem. I've tried making announcements and having the other students recommend people for me to talk to, but nobody seems to know anyone with any programming skills.

This year will be even harder for me, since in the past I've had 2 other teachers working with the team so I could spend some of my time during the build on coding. This year I'm the only adult there (unless I can get a few more interested), so I will be responsible for overseeing all of the construction, and not just a portion as in previous years. Oh well--I guess that's what late nights and caffine are for.
