Go to Post I don't think that FIRST is going to get better with a top down solution alone, it is going to take a grass roots effort to strengthen teams. That starts by teams getting off their "islands", self imposed or otherwise. - Fe_Will [more]

I have no idea how busy my schedule would be in the military as a systems/network engineer or cyber security analyst. I have a few friends in the Marines and Air Force, but they barely get enough time to chat once a week...

Unfortunately both instructors have after-school tutoring classes for science / physics, but allow us to utilize the classroom. The students would not get the same attention that I have given them in the past.

Hmm... Team 812 might be able to, although I'm unsure about how efficient or convenient it would be for them. I will have to look into that.
