Sorry. Just getting psyched 
Do your states have similar things? |
It is a good program and you will learn a lot of interesting new stuff.
I was one of the teacher participants in the Summer Institute last summer, and a couple of my students (who are also team members) have participated in the last couple of years. I was able to bring some good ideas about parallel processing into the classroom this year because of my participation last year. You not only get to learn interesting new stuff, but you get to make friends with a bunch of bright kids from all over the state.
There is something completely respectful and amazing to see FIRST teams who have members go through 4 years of the program without winning a single competition or even a single award. Those are the teams that are looked at by others and respected for what they do. - fuzzwaz [more]
