Team 1432 is a robotics team that some of Frank's (many) cousins are involved with. They meet at the old auto shop at Franklin High weekdays after school hours and well into the evening, and on Sundays from 8 to 4. Please forward to any who might be interested.
Cousin Becky says:
"Alan and the boys mentor a robotics team (FRC team 1432). We are the only team in Portland that is open to anyone no matter who they are or where they live, or for that matter what their educational abilities or family situation is. We have had kids from off the street join the team and kids who just came because it was a safe place to be for a few hours. The point is we have something to offer everybody and we'd like to make sure people know we are here. Specifically we want to let homeschoolers know that they are welcome to join and be part of this. FIRST is offering $12 million in scholarships this year to students who have participated in the program. We don't charge any money to join and the kids get a chance to work with real engineers, design and build a robot and then they get to compete with 6,000 other teenagers and their robots."

Sounds awesome, Alec (and possibly Kyra too), would so be there if we were near!
THAT is awesome. Declan, too, would be all over it!
