Re: Press Release -- FIRST in ALL NH Schools
I'm actually attending a New Hampshire public school and I'm rather excited about certian aspects of the plan.

The part that most interests me is the fact that I may be recieving credit for participating in FIRST. I think thats an excellent way to boost attendence. The only problems I see is that a lot of New Hampshire public schools are extreamly small. If you don't live in southern New Hampshire theres not much sponsership oppurtunity or resources available to help in the design process as far as I can tell

Hopefully the large New England companies such as BAE will be able to step in and help but I don't see a lot of these schools north of Concord getting a lot of support. I truly hope they do.. but I guess only time will tell. Our Team 151 has allready housed a rookie team last year in our machine shop and we are ready to offer any other help we can provide.

This is deffinitly good news for FIRST... but only time will tell how successfull we are.
