I'm not sure if I completely agree with a FIRST High School (though I would have loved to have attended one!) ... I do have to respond to that one comment.

Robby posted about being creative and taking creative ideas from the drawing board to reality. I can see this going far beyond the boundries of engineering. No matter what field you go into, you need to take an idea and be able to make it something concrete. Liberal Arts, Sciences, Engineering, Business...they all apply here. FIRST itself is mainly engineering, but as this board proves, we are not all going to be little engineers someday. I think the principals we learn in FIRST are also taken to the broader perspective of other professions.
