Our Challenge

Our challenge for this year is released! (That's me on the far left)

Smart Move

To see the details click HERE. It would be awesome if you want to spend some time with your student looking the site over. FIRST did a good job this year on the site. Look at the robot missions, rules and the research project. Of course we will cover all this in much detail in the coming weeks. If you get bored, you can see the design team here (grin).

Awesome First Meeting

Thursday was our first meeting. I'm excited that we had 24 in attendance. We visited and just talked about each other and the FLL program. Wow how this program has grown. I started this Blog a couple of days before year #1 so scroll down if you want to see how far we have come.

Next Week

Next week we will start building the models for the table. I will also be at the BVMS Family Fun Night in the 7th grade quad next Friday night (the 11th). Students are welcome to come and hang out in our area if they want but we don't require that anybody be there.

Other Stuff

• We would like to have all corporate donations identified by September 15th so let Jamie (LockeJamie@yahoo.com) know if you or anyone you know is interested.
• Remember that you can send a message to all the robotics parents via the mail list at bvms-blog-subscribers@googlegroups.com but don't worry if you post accidentally because I moderate all postings anyway.
• All days on the schedule that are grayed out are NO MEETING days and the schedule is subject to change. I will let you know a week or 2 in advance if we change the schedule.
  
• Don't worry, I don't plan to fill your email with these postings but I may post a few times the first couple of weeks to let you know how we are doing.
• Please feel free come to any meeting anytime.
  

Thanks for sharing these wonderful students. I am excited by the possibilities this year and it was a real pleasure to meet each and every student!

Thanks,
Chris.
