I remember last year people talking about Bill Nye getting involved.. and I found a link to email the guy and I did.. giving a little info on FIRST, etc.. it obviously didn't work.. but heck i tried..
It would be cool if... if each team 'adopted' someone and tried to get them into the FIRST program.. you know.. various 'famous' people that may want to support it.. one way to get FIRST on TV is to bring FIRST to the people already on TV... We've got to be the ones to build awareness about the program...
Maybe we could all work together and develop a 'presentation'.. filled with important info and promotional of FIRST.. then each team can choose a target person to teach about FIRST and try to gain their support ($$$, smarts, and/or just a voice in favor of the program).. from top corporate leaders, to politicians, to tv and movie stars.. I think FIRST could land it's spot on a few talk shows.. news programs.. comic strips.. :-)
We're the ones that have to do the hard work... what teams would be up for the challenge???
