In my freshman year, my physics teacher said "Liz, how would you like to build a robot?"
And I (being totally unaware of what FIRST was, and quite frankly scared of the idea) said "I wouldn't!"
and he said "Great! I'll sign you up."
I got dragged into FIRST against my will, and it was the best thing that's ever happened to me. Although that might only work on a few innocent and confused freshman like I was, so I wouldn't reccomend using that tactic as a recruitment technique
