Who Approached who?

we had done OCCRA twice, and another teacher was inspired to start a FIRST team. un fortunately he left our school so we still aren't sure about this year

I remember when 263 started, a teacher had approached Michael with a pamphlet about FIRST and asked if our school should do it. Michael then called me and said "your friends are dorks...have them stay after school on Wednesday for a new robotics club." Next Wednesday afterschool was the start of our robotics team.

With 810, Michael & I were approached by a teacher from Smithtown HS after a speech I gave about FIRST at a pre-season regional fund raising thing who wanted mentors to help her start the robotics club at her school.

Wow, those were a long time ago...

Team 237 was started in 1998 by a technology teacher with help from another teacher. The technology teacher is still active on the team. The school board didn't help us at all and they basically tolorate us -- even to this day. Our team had to go out and locate sponsors.
