**FIRST EMAIL**/Call for Proposals - 2008 FIRST Robotics Conference
Greetings FRC Teams:
FIRST is seeking presentation proposals for the fifth annual FIRST Robotics Conference. 45-minute workshops on topics of interest to FIRST Robotics (FRC), FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and FIRST LEGO League (FLL) teams, coaches, mentors, students and prospective leaders will be accepted. You may present alone or as a team. The goal of the conference is to provide personal and professional development for K-12 educators, non-engineering mentors, technical mentors and students. We encourage presentations in all technical and non-technical areas that might interest current and future FRC, FTC, and FLL teams and coaches. For 2008, we are particularly interested in presentations which address sustainability of teams in all programs, initiatives to encourage growth in a region, and tools for developing curriculum around FIRST programs. We also have a special interest in seeing proposals from current students in addition to the usual proposals from mentors and coaches.
