I dunno, Jane... FIRST doesn't contain the word Education or Teaching anywhere. In all the speeches I've heard there is a lot of talk about STEM professionals as rock stars but not a lot about how we should be teaching students.
Is it a nice side perk? Oh yes. I do this for the "Aha!" moment when students get a concept. But you'd have to basically get Dean and Woodie to tell me that FIRST is about teaching before I'd believe you about this.
