[Alan Anderson]

I'm atypical. I was inspired before FIRST even came into existence, while watching a PBS story on Woodie Flowers and his engineering design course (2.007?) at MIT. I found it fascinating, and I felt disappointed that I hadn't had an opportunity to be part of something like that while I was in school.

Then, some twenty years later, my son entered high school and joined the TechnoKats. My decades-early inspiration resurfaced and I've been trying ever since to give more to the program than I get.
