Re: How Does a Robotics Engineering Course Increase Student Achievement?
If you look around on FIRST's website, they have a study they sponsored a few years back about the impact of FIRST on the students that participate. It ended with some very positive results.

When you consider the cost of a FIRST team versus the cost of some other school sports and then consider the real career benefits of FIRST compared to those sports (football? basketball?), it seems pretty clear that FIRST is a good investment.
