I know you're right because I'm doing just that now. I'm in the Advanced Competitive Science class (aka ACS) at my school where I DO get credit for my work on the robot and for my work with one of our Lego League teams preparing for the competition we're organizing on May 22. Lego League is the perfect complement to FIRST, I can understand what my teacher has to deal with and I get a chance to inspire other kids for a change. BTW, all you schools who don't have Lego League teams, look out-these junior leagues are going to produce some amazingly talented engineers. :-Dan

: How about instead of having the advanced lego league, why doesn't FIRST start the Lego League in september, and have current high schools involved with FIRST be the mentors to the younger students in the lego league. This would help get high school students prepared for FIRST, while allowing them to incorperate Lego League into their school's curriculum and incite intrest from the younger middle and elementary school students. Just think, high school students will begin to see what the program is like from an engineers point of view as the mentors while the younger students will gain the experience of FIRST not only through the Lego League, but also through the stories of FIRST that the high school students can pass on to them. You can't miss!!! Think about it.
