The InvenTeams application has been turned in.  We will know of the results around October 6th.

As for DC BEST, Kickoff was yesterday.  The task is to create a robot that will assemble planes (which they'll sell to Boeing).  j/k

Further elaboration of our task and design meetings will be held this coming week, Monday through Thursday, at 9 pm in the Conference room.

Hope to see you there!

This was announced quite a while ago.

A recap of InvenTeams:
- have a design/invention
- apply for a grant up to $10,000
- work on the invention during the entire school year
- present the product at a convention

There are two rounds to this process; we have passed the first round.  The application for the second round is due around the first week of September.
