What does your team do during the summer?

[Jon Stratis]

Our team's summer program is about to get kicked off tonight. Like in previous years, we're holding a 2 week program in the evenings (so Mentor's can attend). It serves as a great way to get returning students back into it, and to start educating new members. This summer we're planning:

- Micro Bugs for each student to build and take home
- The creation of a Rube Goldberg machine, where the students will have the chance to build sections of it in small groups
- A mousetrap car competition
- Guest speakers, professionals in web design
- Standard team/FIRST intro and information
- Discussions on what the team can do to increase PR efforts
- Standard ice breakers to help everyone get to know each other
- Introduction to programming using Alice


So, what does everyone else do with their team over the summer? We're always looking for new ideas for next year!
