8/25/10

The past couple of weeks of school have flown by very quickly. Since the first day of school I have been working with the other officers to better organize this years team. I have very high expectations for the following year. What we are trying to accomplish by the end of this semester is to further educate both new and returning students on robotics team. We want that everyone be more efficient and prepared so when it comes to the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Competition we will be stronger as a whole.

One of the other approaches we have taken to better our team is to inspire them as well as enlightening them by showing the great, inspiring movies. The first time we saw was "October Sky"; This film showed us how no matter where you, or where you come from you can do anything if you set your mind to it. "Contact", by Carl Sagan, was the following movie we saw. It was a moving story about a woman who lost her mother at birth, and her father at the age of 9. She overcame the judgment of her peers to strive for what she believed in and was able to reach her goals along with the help of some extraordinary people. Today we are featuring the movie "The Road". From viewing the trailers, its suppose to be a film about how the world could in a moment change for ever and how a father and his son attempt to over come all the obstacles presented.
