Re: Now that the robot is gone, do something meaningful
The Woodie Flowers recognition is as simple and as complex to me as a key.

It unlocks the cage that houses the rolling tool cart and many of the team's robots - therefore history
It unlocks the future for the student's educational interests in science, technology, robotics
It starts the car that can travel to a home, a hospital, a funeral, or another team - when a team member needs help or support
It is a key that opens doors we haven't thought of yet
It opens the way to a student's self-discovery and confidence
It opens the opportunities for students of many diverse backgrounds and cultures

to grow, to learn, to contribute, to participate

It is a key that belongs to a FIRST mentor. All of the teams have mentors with one such key - As Andy says, Write on...
