**FIRST EMAIL**/Call for Proposals - 2008 FIRST Robotics Conference

[Ken Patton]

For those of you who have done some project that might be interesting to others in the robotics community, you should consider sending in a proposal for a presentation.

Perhaps you are a high school or college student, and you have a class project that requires a report and a presentation. What about choosing a good FIRST topic? You could put together a presentation that, if accepted, could be seen by many people at the Championships conference.

Imagine having the experience of putting together your presentation, organizing it clearly, checking all of your information to make sure it is correct, practicing it in front of people who are familiar with the topic, then presenting to a large group of interested people in Atlanta. It would be a great experience. It would look fantastic on a college application or job resume.

Don't worry if you think someone else might already be covering a similar topic. There often are simple adjustments that can be made to make the topics from multiple presenters fit together.

If you have any questions, post 'em here. Other people probably have the same question.....
