FIRST Technology Enrichment Sessions 2006

The TE sessions for this year will be once a week and 3 hours long. However, this year the sessions will have the lecturing distributed throughout each session such that there should not be more than 20 mins of lecturing at a time. We will be attempting to use more hands on activities to allow students to gain a clearer understanding of the engineering concepts. The mechanical sessions will be based entirely on Vex kits. As in the past two years, we will be holding a basic TE session
