Falcons in the White House!

Well, we never got to go when we won the chairman's, but we finally got representation! Three of the Falcons got the chance to go for the White House Science Fair. They were up on the podium with the president. We saw a live webscast! Got a random anonymous pic sent our way.

We had Bianca Rodriguez, John Rangel and Dillon Dayea. They will be flying back today and heading to St. Luis on Wednesday!

Found a link with the president's speech. You can see Dillon Dayea over his shoulder to the right with an 842 shirt on!

Re: Falcons in the White House!

so your whole team did not go? still not fair. the entire team deserves the trip.

It would be schedule overload if their entire team goes to DC right before FIRST Championship :p

the science fair got big last year, about 100 participants from about 50 organizations. there isn't room for whole teams.

Great representation of FIRST there! Myself (3928 on the left), a representative from Bomb Squad (16), and 3 members from 842. There was also the Atomic Flying Monkeys FLL team along with LANDROID FTC Team #4220.

It was nice meeting all of you there!
