Re: Girls,Why did you join FIRST???
I joined FIRST because, well, I am a nerd and that's what I do! Actually, my area has a free educational summer camp and between 8th and 9th grade I took the robotics course. It was mostly building little bots out of kits from Radio Shack, but one day Kilroy V came in for a demo. I loved it, but kind of forgot about it and moved on. Then, in 10th grade, I joined Governor's School and saw an announcement about the robotics team, which immediately made me remember that summer camp. I started going to meetings and actually shocked the boys when I knew how to use a drill. The rest, as they say, is history. I just finished my 1st FIRST season and cannot wait to start the next one!!
