KathieK,

To have a successful team that spreads the "STEM" message, you need members. You need members to start FLL teams, you need members to start EARLY team and you need members to mentor these teams as well as GEAR, BEST, and Botball teams. But you must have members. I would hope that teams don't kill themselves with STEM to the degree they can't sustain themselves. I would much rather see a team that establishes a strong foundation that picks up STEM after a few years than starting all of this STEM stuff from birth.

I'm confused. The whole idea of FIRST is to provide Inspiration and Recognition of SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY. The last I knew Science and Technology was part of STEM. How can you have a FIRST team doing the right things and NOT be focused on STEM education. Are we not supposed to be teaching the students?
