Re: Does FIRST only make engineers?

Wiley,
While this program appears to favor engineering, we celebrate getting students to think about and attend educational institutions beyond high school. It really doesn't matter what discipline they enter, just that they continue their education. I met one of our former students over the weekend who is a teacher now coaching FLL. Another student now mentoring with WildStang, is an architect. We have had students study biomedical, foreign relations, political science, physical therapy, law, business, art, computer animation, game design, etc.
