Our goal is to get them to give us some monetary support...currently they only pay for transportation to one regional and subs for the teachers.
Explain that FIRST is more than just the robot.
Tell them about teamwork. Gracious professionalism. The scholarships. The many different students and mentors from all over the world you'll meet and even the fun you are having. Pictures and video helps as well.
