Last year Brian Gattman arranged for the FIRST robotics teams to get college credit through the Tech Prep Program and Everett Community College.&amp;#160; The applications are due by November 30th.&amp;#160; I have asked Jan to send you application forms (I got the contact information off of the map that Kevin did - thanks Kevin =)


Below are the competiencies from ECC, I hope students are able to take advantage of this opportunity.&amp;#160; I AM VERY SORRY FOR THE LATE NOTICE but I&amp;#160;really hope you have students that can take advantage of this opportunity.
