Is something I posted inaccurate? If so, I'll fix it. But it does seem that the Franklin Institute is hosting a violent event. I posed the question to readers to see if they think it is biased, and some do seem believe that it may be turning people away. I didn't bash anyone. But I did suggest that they may turning away more kids than they are attracting. If that's true, then how would we test this hypothesis? How could NERC be adapted to bring in those that find these types of events violent? Would it want to?
I'm not trying to stop students' involvement in robotics; I'm trying to increase their involvement! Please check out the materials listed at this site and its parent site at wiki.roboteducation.org. But let's agree that it is at least possible that some events could be repelling more students than they are attracting. If you won't even consider this possibility, then we can't move forward.
Constructive Criticism?
Manny,
