When does your team start meeting again?

[amos229]

well 229 starts up in the fall with a series of team building and engineering exercises such as egg drops and such. Its a good way for everyone to get to know each other.

Team 204 will start back up in Sept!

[Joe J.]

862 meets year round, during the summer we meet as a smaller group to plan for demonstrations, summer projects & the coming year. We meet as a large group of returning veterans in September after school starts, then a week or two after that we have our recruiting meeting, then we start our regular meetings the rest of the year.

We meet year-round. Our school is doing Little Shop of Horrors for their Fall play, so they want us to build the man-eating plant. That's our fun summer project.

We are starting now. Alumni and mentors made a game for VEX and our team vets meet during the summer to do a "mini competition". Just for team building. We are also doing more skills training with mentors. This is the first time in 6 years we've done this (I think).

Our school did that two years ago; it's an awesome play.

We technically meet all year round, but we aren't really having regular meetings right now. Some of us are helping at the LEGO camps they're running for most of the summer, and we've done a parade and a demonstration within the past week. We're supposed to meet in about two weeks to discuss new members and fall events.

As most of the teams, we meet year round too.
During summer, for those on our team without a job or any other activity, FIRST is their job. They work all summer round working on the projects and planning next year agenda. This summer our team is loaded with three outreach projects, and two building projects.
Other than that we meet every week (Wednesday) year round.

not to mention our team-bonding activities....
This summer it will be Paramount Kings Dominion, Paint-Ball Fight, and Laser-tag 'partay'... :-)

Like many of the teams previously mentioned, 573 has meetings year-round. The meetings during the school year are more formal and facilitated by usually more than one mentor. During the summer, the students arrange meeting dates at each other's houses (at which recruits are more than welcome to come) where structure for the upcoming year is more or less discussed and recorded to be presented to the mentors.

830 does IRI for the summer, but actual meetings start up in the fall, with workshops presented by the U of M students.

We usually start our meetings in September on every tuesday. Tuesday is the official team shirt day and meeting days. We meet once a week up to the build season. Some of us are there everyday from september to may because we do O.C.C.R.A in the fall and FIRST in the winter/Spring.

648 meets year round. There's a full team meeting on the third Tuesday of each month in the summer. Every Tuesday is our programming class and projects. And on Thursdays in June is our cardboard boat building. Then 4th of July is a race and September 10th is a race, both team bonding exercises. We just purchased a Vex kit but I'm not entirely sure what they are doing with that yet b/c I haven't been able to make it to a programming meeting. We start recruiting kinda year round but sporatically. Like Moline was at freshman orientation in May and Sherrard will be at orientation in September and West is... well... who knows when West is.

[MChapman]

We've got meetings all year round, but during the summer its more team bonding things than anything. But when its time to get serious its right before school starts so we can talk recruiting an the important stuff like fundraising for the year.

[Towel]

Team 271 meets every wednesday evening year round. During build season we meet every day though.

[George1902]

I don't think 1902 has had an official meeting since Mission Mayhem, but we do go bowling together every Monday. (Yay for dollar-a-game night!)

Official meetings will probably begin when school starts.
