That's not why
I am part of FIRST.
I'm here to help inspire students in the fields of science and technology...and to have boatloads of fun in the process. I'm here to see my ideas get combined with the ideas of other people in order to make a finished product that does amazing things. I'm here to give students the opportunity to be part of a wonderful collaboration between community and business, between education and industry, between mentees and mentors, between parents and teachers and engineers and salesmen and custodians and carpenters and on and on...
Engineering is only one corner of the FIRST experience. The larger goal is nothing short of changing the culture of the planet to make technology -- and those who work with it -- something to celebrate. Growth is vital in order to make progress toward that goal.
