I am very fortunate. Our school is VERY supportive of FIRST. It is encouraged for all departments to inegrate this project into the curriculum (we have 18 different trades). The administrations goal is for us to be able to accomplish everything during the day without adding any time after school. It is a nice goal, but I do think it's unreasonable.
The commitment that Assabet Valley has made to FIRST is overwhelming. I teach CAD, and I have two very large computer labs. We have taken one of these labs and installed a FULL SIZE playing field (note to FIRST please do not make the field any bigger). Also, we have prototype lab. These are permanantly constructed IN MY CLASSROOM!
I cannot tell you how great it is to have this arraingement.
I invite any member of any FIRST team to visit what I beleive is a FIRST class school, I am sure you would leave here VERY impressed. So, if your ever in Marlboro MA, come visit us!
