[BB] What Do You Want at St. Louis Championships

[JaneYoung]

One reason that I think it is important for every student in FIRST to be able to experience the Championship event at least once in their young life - is to see how really big it is and how many teams are involved from all over the world. The Championship event also brings home the value and importance of the sponsors and suppliers and just makes everything more real, even though everything is more fantastic.

One thing that I would love to see some quality time spent on is the layout and accessibility of Scholarship Row, the Hall Of Fame displays/teams, the Woodie Flowers Award recipients and their bios/information, the Dean's List, and the Championship Conference presentations. All of these, together, should be a highlight and a beautiful centerpiece that showcases the FIRST possibilities well to the students, the mentors, the parents, the sponsors and supporters, the guests, and the general public. These elements of the Championship should not be spread out all over the place but should be in the same area that is easily accessed, noticed, and made available. None of these should be short changed, overlooked, or given last minute attention and space.
