Re: Barriers to Entry: Why schools DON'T join FIRST
Another major issue that I would assume faces many teams not just the team i was mentoring in 2006 was something called NASSP National Advisory List of Student Contests and Activities. It was very difficult to encourage an activity like FIRST when the school was unable to allow the team to access to school resources without resistance or allow student to travel without sending them on "parent sponsored" field trips. For a while 1747 was working with FIRST to get on this list but I am not sure what came of it.
