Is there a plan to record Sessions? If not can we do some? We would be willing to share with everyone.

Presenters have been asked to share their presentations so that they can be put online as resources. As for recording presentations I'm pretty sure that wasn't an idea that was being floated around. I really like the idea, but Chief Hedgehog has the final say on that (along with individual presenters obviously). I'm giving 3 different presentations and I would love for them to be recorded to be used as a resource for teams in the future.

Hello Snoman,

We would love it if your team takes the lead on recording these sessions.

HOWEVER - please gain approval from each of the presenters before the session. Remember, a lot of work went into creating these presentations and should be looked at as intellectual property. When you do ask for permission, please also ask if it is permissible to share this information.

Thank you for your interest in this and we look forward to seeing you at JUMPSTART!

For those of you attending JUMPSTART and are here looking for maps (and those that are just curious...) please look here:

On a side note, we intended JUMPSTART for teams in the Central MN area - around St Cloud. We expected to have 5-10 team attending with around 150 students.

Well, we are now at 20 teams from across MN (including ND - go FRC 4818!) and have over 360 students registered! Needless to say, we were a bit overwhelmed at the overall interest in this endeavor. We are incredibly excited for this event!

And for those of you wondering - this endeavor is a HUGE nod to GoFIRST and their Splash training that we attended for the previous three seasons. We wanted to do for Central MN what Splash does for the Metro area teams in MN.

A special thank you to MN FIRST, CMMA, Bison Robotics, and the CMNRH as well as to all the presenters and workers. And to our partner in SCSU - thank you so much for your help! None of this would have been possible without the foresight of Dr. Helgeson and his staff!
