It's a remarkable story. Team 1880 is a rookie team who has had terrific success in meeting the engineering challenges FIRST offers. Team member, Amadou Ly has been an important member of that team, and has faced challenges well beyond engineering ones.

FIRST is not an expert in immigration, but we understand there may be some hope of accommodating him within current laws. So, FIRST will work with Amadou's schools, community leaders, and elected officials to look for a way to help.

Go teams!
Viewing the subject article on the NY Times website requires a subscription -- fortunately for CD readers it was excerpted in another thread a couple of days back.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
