We have already started and assigned events at the last team meeting, but there are several events still open.
We will attend 3 to 4 competitions on Saturdays in January & February. Last year we had a competition in March, but I do not think that will happen this year. These competitions are all day events. We are just finalizing our schedule and will know more at the Team Meeting.
We meet every-other Thursday from 4:30pm-5:30pm as a team. Our next meeting is 10/27/11.
The students work on their own and/or get with their event partners (if they have one) as needed. They are highly encouraged to seek out a mentor for each event - someone in their family or the community that knows about the topic and is willing to meet with them at least monthly (or sometimes more) to go over the rules and their preparations and knowledge. They have to study and/or build for their events to prepare and this can be several hours a week for some students, yet only a couple hours a week for others - although they get out of it what they put into it.
