Hey I am a noob... I signed up early this year and haven't really been on here... I have a few questions...I am from team 698 in Chandler AZ

Is the night before the kick off classes worth it?

has anyone else had problems finding other teachers to help for afterschool work?

Are there many girls in this?Cause I am the only girl on our team and I get stuck doing paperwork..

Is there a version of solidworks that is Vista Compatible....I know vista is the devil but I have to run it on my laptop or I loose my sound and video?

Hey Welcome!

You'll find that the more info you try to get your hands on the better off you'll be so make the effort to learn something new at these free seminars if you can make it.

Also there are plenty of girls in the FIRST. Though it is still a minority in general you'll meet alot of great peers. For instance my team has typically 50% girls on our team of 35 students.


Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride. As in anything in life the more you put into it the more you'll get out of it!

Since I've just joined I figure this is a good place to go. This is my first year, I'm a junior, and I'm mainly a programmer. Team 16, Baxter Bomb Squad.

Howdy?

Juan,
Welcome, Baxter has a long history here and we are always glad to hear from Mountain Home. I see you are on the list for the Midwest Regional. It has been a long time, glad to see you are back. Say hi to everyone there.

We've been having a few problems finding teachers when our mentor isnt available. Just go around the school and ask any cool teacher you know, preferably math or science teachers, if they could stay late one or two nights a week. Our team offers compensation to teachers for their time, mostly in the form of food.

You might want to have some parents check in with the admin. Perhaps there is some paperwork they could complete so that they could be a standby person when the teacher cant be there. It might be as easy as becoming a PTA member or just fillilng out chaparone paperwork. Sometimes when admins see parents willing to be involved they can stretch the rules. You could also see if someone from the custodial staff could be the "school" rep for nights like this.

weird i like the thread though because many new members do not post anything that goes against the rules without knowing it....they may not mean it and just need another chance.
