Greetings Teams:
Just a reminder....
FIRST is seeking presentation proposals for the fifth annual
FIRST Robotics Conference. 45-minute workshops on topics of interest to
FIRST Robotics (FRC),
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and
FIRST LEGO League (FLL) teams, coaches, mentors, students and prospective leaders will be accepted. You may present alone or as a team.
The goal of the conference is to provide personal and professional development for K-12 educators, non-engineering mentors, technical mentors and students.
We encourage presentations in all technical and non-technical areas that might interest current and future FRC, FTC, and FLL teams and coaches. For 2008, we are particularly interested in presentations which address sustainability of teams in all programs, initiatives to encourage growth in a region, and tools for developing curriculum around
FIRST programs. We also have a special interest in seeing proposals from current students in addition to the usual proposals from mentors and coaches.
If you are interested in submitting a proposal for a 45-minute presentation in Atlanta, please submit an abstract on or before December 23, 2007 via our web form.
Selected proposals will presented at the conference in Atlanta on April 17-19, 2008.
Travel and accommodations will not be provided by FIRST.
