Re: Boy's and Girl's Clubs + FIRST
I'm very very excited for this partnership, GUS Robotics and I were very close to starting an FLL and FTC team in our local Boys and Girls club, but the only thing that was holding us back was mentors and funding. Hopefully this should give us a shot to really get started! Logically, I don't think they'll get to that magical 4000 teams, but it's sure something to shoot for. FIRST was really thinking when they pulled B&Gs club on board, what better way to find kids than a place that is already a safe and stable environment!
