FIRST and University Involvement

[JVN]

Vince,
You might consider looking at Clarkson University.

The school supports a FIRST team (229) through it's award winning SPEED (student projects for engineering experience and design) program, which is designed to emphasize cooperative, hands-on, project based, group learning.

Clarkson also allows students to participate on the FIRST team for course credit, in a variety of different forms.

Clarkson supports the FIRST program in general, by giving out a whole pile of FIRST scholarships to HS FIRST participants.

Here is out faculty roster:

You should consider contacting either Fred Stone (the director of SPEED) or Dr. James Carroll (our faculty advisor, CU EE prof.).

If they are both busy, I would be more than willing to help you out.
Please mention I referred you to them.
