Well done! This definitely nails down the "I" in FIRST!
And the selection strategy for the WH Science Fair may have worked perfectly. It shows clearly that it isn't all about winning awards, blue banners and championship robots, FIRST provides the opportunity to impact any student and promote STEM wherever and whenever a team works together to meet their goals.
