In another post I tried to show the image of the emotional rollercoaster that you may have missed from ADC1.
Some participants stated that they had quit their jobs. Others neglected other members of their households. etc. etc. Many did not win. I tried to include a little bitterness. The reason for that post was to get you to consider higher percentage activites early in life. They talk about training a champion boxer to have confidence with a series of sucessful bouts. Those are high percentage activities. An engineering degree is a ticket to the middle class for a person with no political connections - one place where what you know is more important than who you know... Maybe Google will have regional competitions in the future that could help establish a set of young developers that could work together to do great things. I don't know. Consider trying to build some sort of gains that will stick even if the entry does not win: the MIT folks got course credit for their efforts and learned about working software in teams. You clearly care about you son. Try to structure it with a local community college or school so win, or lose, he is guaranteed life traction for his efforts. ed On Jun 12, 8:32 pm, Steve Oldmeadow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Jun 12, 10:43 pm, august <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Can you have an adult and a junior on the same team? > > In ADC1 if you entered as a team all team members had to enter into > various contracts, especially if you got into the semi-finals: so you > have the same issue as an individual. > > I would think a Business Entity is your best bet.
