We’re going to Atlanta! And we thought how great it would be if a surprise speaker turned out to be Barack Obama. So we sent him an invitation. If your team agrees that we can all inspire our president, please join us and send your own invitation. Here’s what we wrote:
On Behalf of FIRST Robotics team 1807, the Allentown Redbird Robotics, we would like to invite you to attend the FIRST Championship Event held at the Georgia Dome on April 16, 17 and 18.
FIRST stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, and there is no group more inspired, dedicated, creative and hard working than a FIRST Robotics team. We will be attending this event with over 10,000 other students from around the country and the world, along with their teachers, parents and mentors. Passionate students who will be our future scientists, mathematicians and engineers.
We realize that there are many demands on your time, but we are certain that even a short visit with all of us will strengthen your hope for our future. As you have inspired this country, let this group of students inspire you.
Respectfully,
Team 1807
