I know there are a couple of IB students in FIRST. i was wondering from them if they were able to use FIRST for their CAS hours

The fact that thses students need 150 hours in creativity(building the robot...), Action (Events...) and Service (School presentations etc...) This smart group of students would be able to complete all three with one dedicated year of FRIST. Quite a few teams have this program in the schools taht fall under the teams umbrella. so my questions to these teams are as follows.

do you guys think this idea would be a good sell to the IB students?

Has your team been able to tap into the IB students and recruit for your respective team?

compare the amount of time put in by these students compared to other students.

Im asking these questions because there is a school here in south Orlando. that might be able to start a team, but the only issue would the the majority of the students would be in IB as well as doing FIRST. This quick survey would give me some testimonials and allow me to collect information so i can sell this idea to the school.

anyone agree, disagree, have any opinions?

Thank You everyone in advance for responding
