The Best Schedule Of Events Includes Visiting
“Not all these students make the best grades, but this can inspire them to do better and give them confidence,” pre-engineer teacher Julia Thomas said at last week’s meeting. Students with any skill or academic levels are welcome to join the team. If the students have a difficult problem, they must do research to find a solution.

Thomas said she is less stressed this year, even with having to complete the project in ten weeks, because this time the team will be building a practice field of their own. Teamwork is necessary in order to solve problems by brainstorming, develop leadership skills and spirit, she said.

The BEST schedule of events includes visiting the Exploreum to eat pizza and watch an IMAX movie, as well as enjoying “Mall Day”, where students get to test drive their robots. That day also allows students to share ideas with fellow entrants about the robots. October 19-20 are competition days at Davidson High School in Mobile. There will also be a live feed from NASA on that day. The regional competition will be held Dec. 7-8 at Auburn University.
