Re: FIRST: COLLEGE ?
I'd bet there are more college students (with engineering or technical majors too) than you know who have never drilled a hole or who have never picked up a screwdriver or never written a program.

Remember, not all the highschool students out there get to experience FIRST (or anything remotely similar to it) and a lot of times they get stuck in their books in college. And when they finish their education, all they have is pile of books, and a mind full of formulas, and no idea what to do with them.

I'm all for it.
