I am proud of Michigan governments support of FIRST and our First in Michigan organization for forging the district system which makes FIRST a more affordable and satisfying experience that is now the FIRST model. We have more teams than any state but we are a long way from the FIRST ideal of having this program available to any student that wants to participate. We really need to make FIRST even louder so that schools and communities are aware of this program. We are making progress but we have a long way
to go.
