Doing Dean's Homework 2007

We made it a priority to do “Dean’s homework” assignments…to meet with our local politicians to discuss the FIRST programs.

We completed “Dean’s homework” from the 07 kick-off to write letters to our politicians to inform them about FIRST and to invite them to our WI Regional. Each team member wrote to Senator Russ Feingold, Senator Herb Kohl, Congresswoman Gwen Moore, and Governor Jim Doyle.

We met with our congresswomen is Gwen Moore. She was excited to hear about what we were doing to promote the study of math, science, and technology in our city. We demonstrated and explained our robot to her, and even had her get her hands on the controls!

We worked with Mayor Barrett to have an official Proclamation made declaring December 3rd , 2006, Robotics Day in the City of Milwaukee.
