2010 will be the year of...

[Andrew Schreiber]

This year will be the year when...

We see volunteers being even more knowledgeable and even better trained.

CDM will overflow with pictures of teams inspiring people, everyone from 4 yr olds to CEOs.

Teams will ALL submit a Woodie Flowers Nomination.

Students will thank their mentors for inspiring them.

Mentors will thank their students for inspiring them.

Teams will cheer for everyone.

Teams will interact.

Finally (for me) this will be the year that every single team goes out and is proud of their accomplishments. We may not all walk away with banners and medals or the title of champion but who cares? Every single team that competes did something awesome, I am more wowed every year by one rookie team going against the odds to compete than I am by 67, 217, 1114, 968, 254, 330, 68 and 2056 COMBINED.

And teachers.

...many teams working together towards the same goals.

[Mr. Pockets]

...when somebody actually guesses the game from the game hint
...when the programmers are left with more than 72 hours to get their work done.
...when the drive team practices cause minimal damage to surrounding furniture and/or room
...When thousands of rookies will walk away and realize that the last six weeks were the best in their life
...when thousands of vets walk away feeling the same way

...testing, trials, and growth. Where teams can grow closer to a better tomorrow. Where teams learn how to work together with others. Where we become even more than a competition. Where we can become, tomorrow.

Yes. A good year this one will be.
