I auditioned for design squad last week, along with another member of the NUTRONS. what a great way to promote FIRST! I just got an e-mail about call backs, so I guess we will see!
Who’s your friend? I had to watch all of the episodes from this season and last season to prepare for my interview. Its a really great show to teach youngsters about engineering. Also, the winner gets a $10,000 scholarship! On the website they have sample projects and a way to teach little kids about the engineering design process. All of the episodes are archived so you can watch them online.
That sounds awesome, I’ll make sure to pass it on to some other guys on my team. I’ve already got a summer commitment (living and working full time at Cedar Point), but this really does sound cool.
