Who Approached who? - Chief Delphi

The only odd part about this competition is that rather than further convince me that I want to be an engineer, it did the converse... I want to be a teacher. - pauluffel [more]

Re: Who Approached who?

Many of the NJ teams were recruited by Randy Schaeffer of J&J and who works for FIRST. Apparently in 1997 FIRST was planning a initial NJ J&J Regional and hooked up with the NJ Chamber of Commerce. A number of high schools in the region were sent videos showing the competition with the hope some would bite and the group would connect school with company.

One day at a department meeting my boss showed me one of the tapes......

We still try to do this in NJ- now 40+ teams strong and growing
