2014 Lessons Learned: The positive

[Jill_ls101]

1. Being able to submit Chairman's at multiple events. While our team never really was in contention for this award, being able to have our students go through this process was very helpful. I feel all the students who had a hand in the process were inspired through our efforts. I've seen the change in the mentality of members of our team since presenting and like in all things iteration is wonderful. I felt our presenters learned a great deal about themselves and how to present information in a variety of ways. (without stage fright!)

2. Single game piece game. While there were aspects of this game I did not enjoy, requiring alliance members to work together with one object did a lot more (in my opinion) for pushing the spirit of coopertition than the bridge ever did.

3. Frank. You deserve the free corn dogs. (Shame there never were any in the first place…)

4. Volunteers: At the events I attended (Boilermaker and Queen City), the volunteers I interacted with were helpful, well-informed, and nice!

5. Interactions with other teams: Shout out to teams 4028 and 201 for loaning our team spare air tanks at Queen City. I love that FIRST is an environment where you can work together and depend on future opponents and have there be no hard feelings in the process.
