I'm very sorry that I won't be in Atlanta to help celebrate this very special award. It would be a priority in my schedule to be there. Just as with all of the events and awards ceremonies, there isn't a good time. Everything fits around the robot competitions and the event planners do the best that they can as more and more wonderful events continue to be fit into the already jam-packed days.
Because everything centers around the robot competitions and because the Finalists are involved and crucial to their teams, there will be students who may not be able to attend the ceremony. Perhaps they can plan to have a teammate or representative in their place and to remind the members of the team when and where the ceremony is so that they can be there to be a part of it. The good news is that the announcements will be made on Friday during the noontime and this will give folks the rest of the time in Atlanta to enjoy and celebrate with everyone.
