How to do a Mobile Toaster:

We have already received a significant volume of e-mails requesting MobileToaster visits. We're so psyched that you're all interested! In order to ensure that we visit as many teams as possible, schools that apply in groups will be strongly favored over those who apply individually. We definitely encourage you to coordinate with other schools in your area to set up several dates that will work for you. If you are located nearby many other competing schools, you are welcome to appear on multiple applications. However, you may only submit one application as a host school. Once you have established a host school, please have them send us an e-mail including the following information:

1. Host Scool's coach's name
2. Host School's name
3. The best way of contacting the Host School's coach (phone number or e-mail address)
4. A back-up contact if we cannot contact the Host School's coach
5. The names of the schools (and coaches) that are going to participate in your MobileToaster date.
6. Dates and Times that work best for the participating groups
7. Expected number of team members (and alternatives) to be present. Please note: the workshop is only open to RGC participants.

Finally, our choices will also be based on whether the teams participating are new to the competition or not. Since we have a limited number of additional supplies, mentors, and time, we are trying to give as many schools as possible an opportunity to participate in the workshop. Unfortunately, we will not be able to visit everyone. Please have your host school contact us AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Priority will be given to schools that apply before February 25th to allow us ample time to plan for our trip to your school. The more flexible you are with dates, the easier it will be for us to visit more schools.

Wow, what a mouthful!

boooo-yah!
