Are you saying this is bad, influencing thousands of kids into the world of engineering, technology, business, and much more. Is this a pork? Maybe one has to look beyond the numbers and into what matters.

It's true; you do have to look beyond the numbers.
Yes, you can consider it pork based on how so much money goes to benefit a small group. However, it's a worthwhile investment when you are using the money inspiring kids to produce world-changing technology. |
Take a look at who made the comment. It's from a FIRSTer. It is, however, true. And I would say that every "pork" project has people who would be willing to say that.
