Top 50 Engineering Schools Involvement

[RMiller]

I can help a bit with two schools: Iowa St. and MIT.
Iowa St. as far as I know gives no support at this time to any program. However, there are a number of former students from teams 167, 525, and 967 that attend. Some of these students are attempting to get a team started at the local high school with support from ISU. As far as I know, they are in the process of getting funds for registration. However, I have not got a chance to talk with any of them in depth recently, so I am not 100% sure. The only thing that I know of from MIT is that they have an IvenTeam thing. This is not related to FIRST at all though. Basically, a high school applies for a grant to invent something that will benefit a community or a person. A $10000 grant is given to 10 schools across the nation to build this. Our team applied and recieved one of these grants (that is how I know of it). For more info the following is a link with this year's schools and their projects: http://web.mit.edu/invent/www/InvenT...eam_04_pr.html
Hope this helped some,
