Very cool! Our team has about 22 kids right now. This is my son’s first year and I’m blown away by the time commitment. He is definitely in his element, though. He’s learned more from this team in the last two months than he would have gotten from me in a lifetime! Here is their website. http://teamupnext.com/
Season hasn’t started yet. You haven’t even begun to get blown away by the time commitment. Every night for 6-8 weeks gets pretty old after a while, but it’s lots of fun and an amazing display of innovation by the kids. That’s the mind blowing part.
You’ll love the competitions. We made World’s by winning Rookie of the year and Engineering Inspiration Awards. 400 teams competing in an NFL stadium is really cool.
I even missed my 25th and 26th wedding anniversaries to go to World’s. (with the full support of my wife)
