Here are some links to local online newspapers in which we were talked about.
“I started mentoring long before I realized January is National Mentoring Month. When Harvard School of Public Health and MENTOR launched National Mentoring Month (NMM) in 2002, I had already been working with elementary students for several years, trying to instill a love of writing.”
“It’s ironic that the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition (FRC) kicks off in January, the same month that recognizes mentors through National Mentoring Month (NMM).”
“I spent Saturday with a bunch of nerds. When you say that to this group, they aren’t offended, but are instead proud, at least in their own little circle.”
“They came carrying old, broken keyboards, computers, electric mixers, adding machines, VCRs, fans, anything their parents would let them rip apart.”
“The sun shines brightest after a storm, or so it seems. Maybe it’s because any hint of light after the clouded darkness surrounding a storm is a stark contrast and relief to the front just passed through. Nowhere is that more evident than during the storms we weather in the trials of our lives.”
It’s funny how when you look back on a crisis, you see it with different eyes, with wider, clearer eyes. When I was in Atlanta, Ga., a couple weeks ago with the Mukwonago robotics team, it wasn’t until someone came to my hotel room asking for memory cards to download the day’s pictures that I realized the spot where I was sitting should have been occupied by my Nikon camera.”
This is a page with some pictures published in the local newspaper.
“It’s a sport that doesn’t involve strength training, stretching or warmups unless it’s strengthening the skills of those involved, stretching their ability to reach unbelievable goals and warming up each member for a career in science, engineering or technology. It’s a chance for high school students to work side-by-side with professionals in the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering and computer programming and software.”
“At the end of a nine-hour practice three days before the robot shipping date and the night before a practice competition, Mukwonago High School FIRST Robotics Team 930 shuddered at the grinding noise emanating from one of the robot’s wheels.”
