1025 does homework

Team 1025 recently participated in the Ferndale (Mich) Public Schools Extravaganza open house. We were able to show off the robot. Some of the younger kids loved playing with the trackball.

The principal told our teacher/mentor that we were the hit of the Extravaganza. Lots of the high school kids were talking about it the next day. There was also local media coverage.

This served two purposes - getting *FIRST *and Team 1025 in the public eye, and to start our recruitment for next year. Nine of our 14 members are seniors.

Bravo. That’s the way to help the community understand what you guys are doing. And, it seems like you’re doing lots of good things.

Wow, inspiring High School kids to the point where they were talking about it a day later… No small feat!

Yeah. We had a newspaper at our school today. And if what I told the guy is the paper is strongly urged at potential FIRST memebers to come to the comp. Even if they don’t know what we are all about they should still come. But there were some communication problems with this guy so I don’t know that it will be.
