Mechanical Engineering department.



			FIRST Encounters

  After a very successful pilot competition called 'Maize Craze', U.S. FIRST,
a not-for-profit organization whose goal is to increase elementary and high
school students' level of interest in math and science, is doing it again.
FIRST Encounters is the national creative engineering competition featuring 
school, business and university partnerships.  Played out in the spirit of
sport, the competition immerses 9th and 10th grade students in the exciting
world of engineering.  Teams consisting of participating students and
engineers from partner business or university will have 6 weeks to design
and build a working 'vehicle' which will then go head to head in a four-team
gladiator-style competition on a specified arena.  The national championship
will be held on February 26 and 27 in Manchester, NH.
   If you would like to enter a team, call U.S. FIRST at (603) 666-3906,
FAX (603) 624-0573.  Entrance fee required.  Email: anjay@mecha.mit.edu
