Wow, this sounds like a fabulous project!

Mr. Fultz, do you think you can give more information on how it was founded, how it works, and how these partnerships are organized? With all the new international teams popping up, it looks like a great way to reach out and spread messages.

Thanks
- Genia

I'll get on my kids to get that page up. Must be missing from the new website. Thanks, Katie.

Its a great project, we started with 233 last year and have carried on an international relationship with them.
Thanks Cyber Blue!

[Chris Fultz]

We are excited that the program has grown and there are more interested US based teams than we can find partners for.


Instead of putting a long post here, I will work with a few of our students and get a short white paper on the program - how we started, what we do, etc. and get it posted here and on Cyber Blue's web site.

First of all, I´d like to thank Mr. Fultz and Team 234 - Cyber Blue for creating and coordinatng all FIPS efforts.

Please, I need some help, at all possible, with lodging at Houston. I have quotes between U$60 and U$75 for a double room, taxes included. We have a small budget, so I´m searching for more options like YMCA and motels. I already contacted YMCA but I need someone who has contacts, or is able to call them and check if they are available.

As most of you know, I´ll be with the group at Houston, so if you need any help I´m at your disposal.

If you wish to stabilish phone contact please send the number to gbalbinot@terra.com.br . MSN: gbalbinot@terra.com.br , my phone number is 55 51 84033800 (55=country code, 51=region code)

Thank you.

Team 237 had a blast being paired with Team 1156 at the NJ Regional. We throughly enjoyed the time we spent with them. Yes, we took them to Hooters because that is a 237 tradition.
Team 1156 drove 3 hours to visit our school in Watertown on Sunday. It was a great visit. Thanks to Chris and Team 234 for starting this.

Thanks team 237 for everything you've done, and hooters was very cool xD
We enjoyed very much the visit to your school
I hope to see you guys at the championship

[Pâzinha]

I would like to thank you all for the wonderful time we had, i liked very much visiting your school. I hope you can come visit our school and participate of a Regional here in Brasil.Hope to see you at the Championship!!

[Jeremy Roberts]

Great program! The CircuitRunners are working on something similar but it is geared toward our contacts in the Caribbean. Look forward to seeing a Jamaican team next year and possibly a Bermudian and/or Bahamian team in the near future.

Can you provide me with some more details on FIP?

[Denman]

you might want to see if 1542 want a partner. No one i know has managed to contact them, and i'll keep you updated, as i managed to find a possible contact last night.
Next year, if we have our european regional (Go Unapiedra / Christoph) then we would have a better chance at going to atlanta funds wise

Great project.

Alan West and Richard Palfrey from 1542 know all they need to do is ask, and we will pair them up with a team coming to the Chesapeake.
Team 1542 already made a lot of friends here.

For 2005, NASA paired these teams:
1577 with 007
1574 with 116
1573 with 118
1582 with 122
1581 with 233
1580 with 254
1575 with 330
1576 with 364
1579 with 399
1578 with 1028
with alternate mentors, 456, 462, 807.
I am only familiar with the 1577-007 connection (they will finally all get to meet each other tomorrow!) and don't know the plan for next year.

[Denman]

sounds like you know 1542... any chance you have any contact details? pm me
