It gets exactly one line in one column and I have the URL of FIRST on there as a reference.
I was never a student while in FIRST but it is on my resume.
As is my vocational education I took consequetively with high school.

In previous career changes on several occasions I have encountered people that either were former mentors or students and it breaks the ice.

It surely can't hurt to list the activity briefly.
Just don't distract from the goal of a resume which is to advertise you.

Considering it's been on my resume for 4 previous jobs and I am CTO of one company, own several others and an Assistant Vice President at a large corporation: works for me - YMMV.
