teaching kids — who have a short
attention span — and we're not sure
how well they understand English."
Still, the team was undaunted
and the excitement was building as
the group prepared for its Oct. 31
departure to Mumbai, India. From
there, the teams traveled by bus to
Nashik for the competition. One last-
minute addition to Lorge's suitcase
was a supply of whiteboards to help
team members teach and explain
by illustration.
At the competition site, each of
the international teams presented
its solution and a winner was
chosen. From there, it changed from
competition to collaboration: the
winning team became the project
manager while the others became the
labor force constructing the solution.
e teams had just four days
to accomplish the installation,
documentation and education
components of the winning design.
No matter the results of the
competition — and the team was
certainly excited about the prospects
of its design being selected — Lorge
and his former students were
looking forward to representing
both country and school on an
international stage.
"I'd like to think it speaks well to
the skills we emphasize here at FVTC,"
says Lorge, who has already been
tapped as one of the coaches for the
2016 challenge. "It's an opportunity
to showcase those skills in a way they
might not get to here at home."
