Re: Why did you join FIRST?
When I was a junior in high school...I was sitting in A+ Certification class when the teacher strongly encouraged me to join this new robotics team that they were starting. I was hesitant yet he made sure I got my application in (I wasn't very good at turning things in on time). I thought I wanted to work on computers then and had no idea if I was going to college or what I was going to do. I ended up attended Purdue and getting a BSMET, while I was there I happened to be walking to class as a sophomore and walked over a call out flier for Purdue FIRST and thought why not. The rest is history I will forever be a FIRST mentor thanks to an amazing group of kids that taught me that while the robot is an important avenue for teaching engineering, FIRST has a lot more to offer than just robots.
