Susanne,

I am not so sure that I agree with you on your point of 'If you can't take 30 or 40 kids with you, then why have 30 or 40 kids on your team? '. When I was a sophmore in high school in 1996 i worked on the project long and hard (300hrs+) during the six weeks, but I still got left off of our traveling team that year. Sure I was upset, at first, but after thinking about it a little while longer I knew that it might have been one of the most important things to happen to me during my high school years. To me it was a challenge, it inspired me to work even harder the next year. The pupose of the program is to inspire kids in the fields of math and science and not to bring everyone to disney world. Kids that get left behind can get just as much out of progam as the kids that do travell. I think that the more students you can infect with the 'FIRST' virus the better off those kids will be in the future. Just my opinion.

Tom
