Our sponsor has decided not to continue with OSMTech
Team 27, due to THEIR vision of FIRST. They (our past
sponsor and some colleagues) believe that the work
should ALL be done at the school, and that the kids
should be doing it! The person leading this parade also
believes that the students should be trained prior to
season, and better prepared ... and that is the
teachers role!

What happens to the role of the engineer? Where is the
inspiration? Where did the 'I' go in FIRST?

Please send Kyle Hughes (kyle.hughes@oakland.k12.mi.us)
a letter of support on your vision of FIRST and how
your team gets students involved. We would like to use
as much ammunition as we can get going in to fight our
case to maintain sponsorship! This needs to be done
quickly!

Also - if you know of any sponsors in Northern Oakland
County that would like to adopt an award winning team,
please let me know tha
