Driven FIRST (high school robotics)
For high schoolers, we have formed a community-based FIRST Robotics
team (called "Driven Robotics") in partnership with a local high
school. Our rookie team will compete for the first time in early
2006. Driven Robotics is in need of substantial support - financial,
technical, materials, meeting space, etc.

Math Olympiads
We make it possible for homeschool students to participate in
the Math Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOEMS) program
by providing weekly training sessions and five testing hours.
We prepare high-school students for the American Mathematics Competition
(AMC), which we administer each year.
