Re: FIRST impact on Adults
Hi Woe:
I will try to answer this for where I am in the FIRST growth process right now. It changes with each passing year.

The impact on me is the circle of mentor-ship between students and mentors, mentors and mentors, students and students. It is the never ending 'how, why, did we try this, how about this' quest that can be applied to engineering concepts, marketing concepts, outreach, team development, individual growth. The interactions between inexperienced teams and veteran teams, each learning from the other never gets old for me. It is always inspiring. When working together as FIRSTers we bridge ages, cultures, & belief systems with the sharing of knowledge and experience as a two-way. And then there are the competitions...
Jane
