Perhaps
this testimonial, written by Lauren Lyons, will give you some insight. Lauren is on full scholarship at Princeton largely because of the FIRST-centric essay that she wrote.
This is also the third Summer that Lauren has spent at JPL working with me. She's currently working on a study that will identify the possible ways of drilling into the Moon's surface to search for water. I hired Lauren because she was a standout on a local FIRST robotics team.
This is just one example where participation in FIRST robotics has helped to open doors of opportunity.
