I would place the entire teaser and downloadable content from FIRST in the "art" category. So far, so good?

David,

It's very artistic set of media indeed!

In my mind, FIRST supporting the "A" in STEAM would look more like 5-8 million in scholarships for Art Students at Art-focused colleges? Or maybe rewarding teams that graduate many college Art students from their FRC team, even if they lack promotion of Engineering or Science? If STEAM is the new way forward, I would expect Art to receive the same level of emphasis and respect program-wide as the rest of STEAM.

I haven't seen that level of support yet, but will be interested to see how this develops.
