Need two courses
I don't think anyone's looking to force it. At the most, it'd be great to get FIRST projects as common electives throughout the public school curricula, and facilitating teachers to answer "when am I going to use this?" with "well, I think there's a meeting Wednesday if you'd like to check it out and meet some engineers".
