Programmers from FRC team 610 used their Java programming skills sharpened by FIRST to compete in the MasterCard NXT challenge last weekend in Toronto.
The group of 5 students (Grade 11/12) faced off against universities like Waterloo and UofT and professionals from software houses. They were able to finish in the top 5 and qualified for the "People's Choice Award".
Their business pitch is available
here. If you like their prototype, please take one minute to
vote for them (3rd one down the list). It's great to see FIRST trained programmers doing well; they are only trailing one team in the standings!!!
Every vote counts! Thank you!!

Never allow your students to get away with an answer that amounts to "because it's better". Have them prove it to the best of their ability, and when they're wrong, ask them to figure out why they're wrong. - Tom Line [more]
