    1) We are the Crest Hill Dragon Fire Breathing Programmers.
    2) I think we will have around 25 6th grade students involved. Some are very interested in the competition but I have many that are just wanting to help out and be a team member.
    3) We meet on Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 7:45-8:45. We will add another morning or afternoon in November to prepare for the competition and finish our research.
    4) The students are not overly excited yet because of our limited time in building and programming. They do get excited about when we start talking about how to accomplish all of the tasks.
