What does your team do during the summer?

[rachelholladay]

A Combustion summer is pretty busy...

-A variety of visits to half a dozen or so local (anywhere from 10 minutes away to that 4 hours) summer camps.
-Running the pilot year of our week-long Rocket Camp (30 kids, middle school) and the third year of Science Camp (120 kids, elementary school)
-Training in animation and web development for our team and any others interested
-CAN and 2CAN developmental work. Gotta get ready for beta testing!
-Formation of a booster club. Our school is tired of having to deal with our money
-Complete redesign of our website with expanded content (an annual event)
-Operation PEDRO. Building a t-shirt shooter at the request of our school's cheerleaders
-Adopting a Street with our city
-Visiting and thanking our sponsors, we couldn't exist with out them
-Getting in contact with our politicians, being recognized on the state, parish and city level
-Several of our students and alumni also have summer internships with a few or our sponsors

(And personally this summer included the Dean's List Trip which included meeting to FIRST staff, vomiting in Dean Kamen's house, giving a speech 20 minutes later, talking to suppliers, etc. )
