He interviewed a couple of our mandarin speaking students for a special to be broadcast in China to attract schools that might be interested.

That's really impressive.
I actually stumbled across an old Popular Science magazine from 2009, where in an article about "Reinventing Culture" Dean Kamen was disappointed because he felt that he had not met his goal of putting an FRC team in every high school. We're not there yet...but this much growth in one year in a foreign country as large as China...very exciting for this season.
Good luck with your workshop!
