I was mentoring one of the teams, the energy level and enthusiasm from the kids was intense, and they we so sharp, very very impressed with the whole weekend. This is just one example of what makes Mountain View and MVWSD district so awesome. Talked to one board member who wants to make this part of the curriculum. Sounds like it will become biannual event.
