FIRST Choice Sunday redux

I'm all for AM delaying FC until it is good enough. I'm just worried that, even with 24 hours notice, I'll miss the opening. What are the most reliable communication channels for updates?

I will play Pollyanna.

This unpleasant exercise, while frustrating, is one of many illustrations of the success (and therefore growth) of FRC and of STEM education in general. More people "get it" and want in. Another personal example: two years ago, registering for our regional was no rush, as we could get in a week or two after it began. Last year, we were graciously informed that we needed to hurry. This year, it filled up within an hour, and I was glad we jumped when we did.

I'd also say that we are lucky to be working with people like Andy who are honest and forthright, and who are sincerely trying to make FRC successful by adding new options and trying new ideas. FRC and the companies that provide us with new and innovative products every year have taken this event to a place where I'm very comfortable saying it's the best thing I've been involved in in 13 years as a teacher, and that I see an even better future for it.

Chin up, Andy. Most of us really are very grateful for your work, and feel for you as you deal with website problems.

I think George W. Bush said it...Best?

"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." —


It is frustrating to have re-arranged both my Saturday and Sunday for this.

Andy,

Thank you and your team for all of your hard work on the FIRST Choice website.

I would like to also offer any assistance I can to help get the site into a finished state. The FIRST Community has a lot of talented people that I think would be willing to pick of the challenge of getting the site into its finalized state, if you need help.

Once again thank you for all for your hard work, and we eagerly await the announcement of the grand opening of FIRST Choice 2014!
