GREAT NEWS ABOUT THE SPREAD OF OUR MISSION!
I wanted to share great news about FIRST exposure via the Technology Student Association website. Since FRC 1712 is part of a larger Tech & Engineering Club that also has a TSA Chapter, we were able to leverage some success the chapter has had regionally and nationally this past year to include FIRST in an article national TSA wanted to publish about our outreach program that began with our FRC students. The credit belongs to club founder/TSA Advisor/and my counterpart Mark Piotrowski who was contacted by the national TSA director and interviewed for the piece. He insisted that the article should include FIRST and TSA, an organization that engages 150,000 students in STEM activities each year. It's very cool that TSA was gracious enough to recognize FIRST when some might see it as a "competing" organization. It's nice to know real "coopertition" is alive and well at the organizational level in the real world. The students from both sides of our club are thrilled that their hard work is helping to bring these two worlds together. Here are the links:
