Hispanics in FIRST and Engineering

I’ve been spending quite some time trying to find ways to increase the amount of Hispanic and Latino students in FIRST (especially FRC). There just don’t seem to be many Hispanics in FIRST, and the fact that there are few Hispanics in the engineering community doesn’t help.

Of course, we also need to work on being more inclusive to other minority students, but each minority community has their own unique reasons as to why many are not in FIRST, and I’d like to hear some ideas for getting the Hispanic community more involved in FIRST and engineering.

Thanks for helping.
