Teachtron is on Hiatus, But I Have a Good Reason Why!

So it's been a little while, but we've had a lot going on around here. First was christmas vacation. Then was ISTF projects when we got back. Then was ACT Workkeys testing (which is great for high schoolers in Florida.) And we just finished National Engineers Week, in which we competed in the US Army Corps of Engineers Career Day, JETS TEAMS, and The Robotics and Automation Society Robotics Competition, which is a collegiate competition but we won first and second anyway. We would have done Mathcounts, too, but it was the same day as JETS.

Why am I telling you this? For the most part, all of these competitions were free. Didn't cost us a dime. The only one that did was JETS, but I know some schools that got a company to sponsor the $200. We used old equipment and legos for the robots.

National Engineers Week is a great time to show off your program and make others in education and the professional community aware of you. You need to take the standpoint that it is their responsiblility to help you in engineering education, because they are going to reap the benefits of a well educated, competitive workforce.

It's up to you to teach it.
