Looking for help in starting new team in Indiana

[David_Kolberg]

I am an engineer looking to start a new team in the South Bend, IN School system. I am having difficulties finding a teacher to help move this along. Any suggestions on how best to approach the school system and /or teachers would be appreciated. I have been helping a neighboring school for 3 years and would like to see South Bend get in on the fun. If anyone knows someone (teacher or students) in the school who would be interested in FIRST, please have them get in touch with me.

I think the one you want to talk to is Andy Baker. He is kinda the coordinator of all the Indiana teams. If you would email me at dkelly@cyberblue234.com I can give you his contact info. It is AWESOME to here that there is another potential Indiana team for next year.


Good Luck!!

Bzzzzt. Let's re-word this... I'm the main communicator between the Indiana teams, not the coordinator of all of the Indiana teams. There is a major difference. "Communicator"... that's what David K. meant.

Dave Kohlberg, there is a new team starting in Wheeler (over by Valpo), and they are going to need some experienced help. Other advice would be to find another school who is involved in Project Lead the Way, like Langfeld is at Penn. I don't know if there are any South Bend schools who are into PLTW, but you can check with Langfeld for that information.
