Re: Barriers to Entry: Why schools DON'T join FIRST
Cost and facility needs can be a challenge but I think the biggest struggle is TIME. It takes a lot of time and effort for a new team to start. Money and mentors can always be found but there is no way to get more time. Some are intimated by what they see and don't think that they can ever do it. Some don't realize what a commitment this program requires and never really get off the ground.
Solution to most FIRST related problems? 26 hour days.
