Greetings FRC Championship Teams,
We have a very active program underway to hold an FRC regional competition in Auckland, New Zealand in March 2009. As part of that effort we are bringing about 40 representatives, teachers and students, from potential New Zealand FRC teams to the 2008 Championship in Atlanta. I would like to place those people, probably one teacher and 1 student each, with teams in Atlanta so that they can experience and observe the whole process, and be mentored on how to run a team.
They will be attending a set of workshops on Wednesday on
FIRST in general, and then I would like to have them received by a team on Thursday morning and stay with them throughout the Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the Championship event. (They have their own hotel booked, the Westin, and are responsible for their own expenses etc).
Would your team be interested in participating? If so, please reply via email to
FRCTeams@usfirst.org.
Kind regards,
Ian McEwan
Vice President Regional Operations
