Re: Inspirational video clips

Someone else on Delphi posted this link to a clip at MIT. It tells the history of one of their engineering courses- and very possibly an inspiration for FIRST.
I like it because it shows other folks the roots of FIRST and the value of FIRST (if MIT believes it's a good way to teach...) and possibly the idea that, while every student won't get into MIT, they can all participate in this high energy, highly effective program (FIRST) even while in middle and high school... It also shows our very own Woodie Flowers as a grad student!!
