Awesome job!
12 students from Northern Ireland and their 12 host students from the St. Louis area participated. Six team members from 931 and six from 1985 served as mentors, so that each of the one-day robotics teams seen in the photo had two veteran FIRST students to help them.

Charlie Blair (a 931 mentor) led the project with assistance from several other FIRST team mentors, teachers, and staff of the St. Louis Science Center -- which hosted the event on their Center Stage. The game was designed by Charlie and a small committee of 931 students, with minor contributions from me. I'll ask Charlie to post the game rules to CD Media.

This was our second year hosting this event. The Ulster Project in St. Louis approached us early in 2007 to ask if we could do it for them, after they had heard about a similar event that 365 hosts for the Ulster Project in Delaware. Thanks to MOE for showing us that it can be done. We used their format, with some minor changes to suit our resources and venue.

The experience was fantastic, for the Ulster students and for us. We plan to do something similar again next year.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
