Re: FIRST in Your School District

Low and behold Canada funds science and technology, as well as academic progress, above sports. Be patient with us guys, our bureaucrats will figure it out in a decade or so. But definitely start at the top to try and get support. My team is 8 years old (if I'm wrong Hobin, shush) and we kept trying to work our way up, I recently found out the superintendent seriously enjoys and supports the program. Guess who we are going to meet with after Atlanta?
Moreover, if you don't have a big muckitty-muck that supports FIRST then go to the BOE, parents and teachers that care about education will complain FOR you until someone up above writes a check or comes to take a look. Every year Dean tells us to spread the message through media and politicians, but why don't we spread the idea through education? We educate kids on how to live and make good decisions, I kind of think that this program is a good decision.
