Re: Does FIRST only make engineers?

This thread makes me smile!

I'm a NEM, never was interested in the robot as a mentor on the team, still not interested in the robot even as a FIRST contractor employee.

My background was library science, a career I held for 25 years. But then the Internet became widely accessible and my library focus switched to providing online information. I've been working on websites for over 15 years. It's a technical field, so it's a STEM area, and I have great appreciation for it.

And for all of you who are post-high school and interested in non-technical topics, join NEMO! www.firstnemo.org.
