Re: To Dream the Impossible Dream (Full Version)
My thinking is that as FIRST develops and evolves with the focus on science and technology, the changing culture aspect will take care of itself. The humanities and the arts aren't going anywhere. They, too, continue to evolve and develop. And there is and will be exploration in how all of these areas can work together to strengthen the changes and the culture.
Just a couple of examples that I can think of today -
One of our alumni studies state of the art technological development in film.
Our team recruited three art students this past week to work with and help the team this year. We have talked about recruiting art students and journalism students before, this year we are doing it. We may be asked why we think we need art students and journalism students on a robotics team. Perhaps one of our answers will be to strengthen it.
