Non School sponsored Team

[MikeDubreuil]

Team 125 is a melting pot of Boston schools.

Our high school kids are from several Boston area high schools, mostly Boston Latin and Brookline high schools.

Lately we have been having difficulty recruiting high school kids and we will lose some very valuable kids due to graduation this year. The high schools haven't supported the team all that much this year. With one notable exception, a teacher from Boston Latin has helped out quite a bit this year.

Our corporate sponsor is Textron Systems. They're around to make sure our college student ideas stay grounded in reality. Our head guy George, who is from Textron cracks the whip and tries to keep things on schedule.

Our college sponsor Northeastern University's College of Engineering provides an excellent lab enviroment for us to use. We have an office, large lab, computer room, and machine shop. Which they even plan to re-model giving us more room in the coming year. Most of the mentors are engineering students at Northeastern. Two professors also help out a great deal on the team.

Myself, I'm actually a computer engineering student from Northeastern's next door neighbor Wentworh Institute of Technology. We don't have a team at my school. The Northeastern team takes in everyone who will put forth effort on their team.
