Re: Invisible Children
the idea is that people who participate in this event will understand what its like for the kids in Africa. Sometimes we cannot empathize with another person until we share a similar experience
its one thing to talk about jumping out of an airplane, but until you jump from one and fall through the atmosphere at 200mph, you will never really know what its like to be a paratrooper.
Once people are able to understand first hand what its like for those kids in Africa, they will be motivated to help them, motivated on a personal level.
I think its a great idea for individuals to participate in at their parents discretion. I'm having a very difficult time fitting this into the scope of a HS robotics team, maybe thousands of miles from home, on a school sponsored trip. Also I cant imagine FIRST being too excited over any notion that this event is piggybacked onto the Championship. FIRST goes to great lengths to ensure the safety and security of the students attending official FIRST events.
