It would be intersting for FIRST teams. They'd have built in sponsoring.

It would be cool if the school had a shop, that's for sure.

It seems to have lots of opportunity and potential, and students who want to be in the program. I'd like to hear from some of the teachers regarding the training and the expectations and how all of it is applied.

It'd be nice if we could have a shop at our school....

Sounds like this school:

I met a kid from there- really, really smart. I think these schools are doing something right- not everything can go perfectly. Also is like the school Oprah did a special on that had a FIRST team.

But I agree- they should have a shop.

Perhaps, but that is a science and mathematics school, this is a corporation ran school. I go to an IT school that has all the comforts of a modern day corporate server room, but we're ran by the government, not a software company.
