How unfortunate you had such an observation and gut feeling. Was this your view as an adult supporter or did the students voice this feeling, too? Was your...
I wish you would give more details as well so that I could help you address some of the problems you had. This is our 3rd year attending and I felt your...
Is there a hub selling BRAINs? BEST wants us to promote our teams and show others what we are doing, but without a BRAIN, our robots are useless. I know we can...
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers Consultin' with the rain. And my head I'd be scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin' If I...
Hey everyone! Since there weren't any pictures of Frontier Trails yet I decided to add just a few of my own. They are in the Photo section of the group. Sorry...
... Neither do I know what went on at South's BEST to sour the attitude of two posters, and I was there. Our team had a generally positive experience. We'd all...

Great ideas to nurture new teams AND old teams with new team members, teachers, etc. It's implied but doesn't specifically state in the BEST Award scoring...

As a new team, we were actually shocked that we made it to Auburn, but we were so blessed to have been there. We are all trying to decipher the "High Octane"...
Lori, I have three (actually four) words for your team, "Y'all got it!" You summed up in your email exactly what we learned as well. I had kids who had never...

I just noticed the flyer for the BEST National Conference in June at Auburn was online, and I was curious about when more details would be coming out? (If...
I think the crack at teachers is in poor taste.....Is this what educators get for spending all the extra time, money, let alone the time away from our...
I'm sorry that you find it offensive, but in many cases Great Educators are also Great Communicators and it depends on their specific objective if they need to...
I am going to post this because I have been asked to by my team, Mount Juliet Middle School. I want to preface all of this by saying that we had a BLAST at...
