My family is really interested and excited about it. Geared at partnering high school students from all grades with engineers from businesses and universities for six intense weeks of engineering, all aspects of the project were considered critical path. Now I'm a subsystems director and the liaison for all of the groups. It's been really enlightening. You look around the room and you see people from all walks of life.
People come together and each has a special skill to offer.
There isn't a group member here who is dead weight. The same enthusiasm exhibited by the students is evident in the school officials and mentors involved on the robotics project. I really enjoy watching the kids take the math and science they've learned in the classroom and apply what they've learned. The robotics team has grown because kids have brought in friends who were excited about what they were doing. They're good students, good thinkers, good minds.
