REGION 1-Ohio Kids for Creativity

Virtual Team Members Needed

This year we are again looking for team members to join our “Virtual” University
team. Last year this was a huge success for those who participated and we are
once again looking for team members. The commitment would be to show up in
Knoxville, TN on Tuesday and begin solving the challenge to perform on
Saturday. The team will be staying off campus and taking the offsite
registration option again this year. The cost runs about $375 each plus
solution expenses and meals.

If you are aware of anyone who would be interested in joining Chris Compton this
year with his team, please have them contact me and I will give them all the
details. The team members will probably Skype a couple of times before finals
to get things going and then pull it all together once they get to Knoxville.

Thanks for all your help. I think that this past year was my most rewarding
year working with a team. Hopefully we will have additional students who are
interested. At this point our team consists of 4 but we have room for 3 more.
