Re: Freedom Chairs
The work involved in making another person's life easier, bringing greater quality to it, is no small thing.
Not everyone finds the passion to make a difference in such a profound manner but when I hear of teams and members of teams that find it, I celebrate. The skills that can be discovered, developed, and encouraged on robotics teams can do many good things that help our communities.
Here in CD, we talk about that all the time and often, cynically, saying that teams and individuals are just working for the awards and the recognition. What we don't spend much time talking about and exploring - is the passion that moves or directs a team or individual towards a goal of recognizing/identifying a need and doing something about it.
Thanks for the post, Taylor. This is awesome. Freedom Chairs is a beautiful name.
