It's not always about the big showy things, but a smile or a cheer when a robot does something well or a simple thank you when you help someone connect their robot to the field. At the end of the day, I'm not in it for me, but to help inspire other kids to have fun and pursue STEM by giving back to a program that's been so good to me.
