Didn't Fredi also have another movie made about them as well?

Well I'd bet that Fredi would say that the movie is about the kids but the documentary version that stars Fredi and the actual students involved is called Underwater Dreams.

How about some local stories, as well?

For example: at Slidell High, the FRC team has intersected with the football team, both boys' and girls' basketball teams, cheerleaders, baseball, swimming, tennis, band (massively), Navy Jr ROTC (massively), as well as all of the usual chess/beta/NHS/gaming clubs that one might expect. We have actually had a lettered athlete and a lettered cheerleader leave those squads for robotics, and a prospective NJROTC commanding officer waive the C.O. assignment so he could be our programming lead (he's how majoring in cyber engineering at LA Tech). We've also made great strides at breaking into our athletics-centric culture among the administration at SHS; we haven't yet been declared an "official sport" like in AZ, but we're working that road even as we blog...

We can work on that "official sport" thing

That's very impressive! As an MCJROTC CO this year and programming lead, my worst days are when there are JROTC events and robotics events on the same day and I have to pick one. They're both my babies
