Team 2158 The ausTIN CANs, and FIRST were recently featured in an American Way article. This article explains the message of FIRST, what it is and what it is like to be on a FRC team. The article is very well put together and I highly recommend reading it. Also If your taking American airlines up to STL look for the article on the plane!

Congratulations on the article.

Is it the April 15 edition? I didn't see it when I flew American a week ago. 330 is flying American to the championships, so we'll look for it.

It was in Houston on Saturday when we checked last :) It should be here before we leave. And I'm more of a "sleep in the car" than a "read in the car" kind of guy.

Our kids were pleasantly surprised to find the article right inside the back cover as we made our way to St. Louis. Very cool way to get the message out there! It's a nice feeling for the kids to realize, "Hey, what we're doing is actually being recognized!"
