My name is Bryan Parra, and I am the President of the Brooklyn Tech Robotics Team. Brooklyn Tech was interested in setting up a stream of FRC Kickoff at our school for some of our members and alumni. Today I received confirmation from Principal Asher, and he told us that we can invite JFLL and FLL teams also, with a maximum capacity of 1000 people.

Going to MIT
Stuyvesant student and member of the school's robotic team Theo Kunicki has devoted a lot of time to assisting at a number of our qualifiers. Her mom Catherine has been an integral part of the FLL Planning committee and her dad Ron has been at all the events. I remember seeing Ron stuck in the airport at Atlanta last April with part of the Stuy team. Are these active parents or what?
Jim Hoffman, Theo's middle school teacher had a team entered in the Queens tournament. She went back this week to give the team a hand despite being incredibly busy. After all, that was where she got her start in robotics.
At the Queens tournament on Dec. 15 Theo was particularly nervous. At 12 pm she would hear whether she got into MIT. A few weeks ago she had even gotten to talk to Woody Flowers, MIT prof and one of the founders of FIRST, who called her to encourage her.
While the hours passed quickly for us, they went slowly for the Kunickis.
Finally the word came.
YES!
Congrats to the entire Kunicki family. Theo will be heading to Boston and maybe get to hang out with one of NYCFIRST's family members Wayne Penn who is now working for Dean Kamen.
She was not the only one to get into MIT from Stuvesant.
Steven Lam - Team 694's President of Engineering, who attended a lot of FLL Planning Committee meetings this fall - found out he was accepted at MIT early admissions also. A third team member, Danny Zhu, the Director of Programming was also accepted and a fourth team member was deferred.
MIT alumni have had a mentoring program going with NYCFIRST for a number of years and here are a bunch of new recruits in 4 years who sure know the ropes.
