My understanding is that Dean wanted us to show politicians what we're doing, and show them the importance of Science and Technology. This is a tad different from the idea of going to the government to "beg for financial table scraps".
So in other words the goals are different (one being finance oriented, the other social).
Maybe we should try to get a FIRSTer as president  . But of course, that'd be lunacy (business as usual  ) |
I suppose. But if the goal is to get a FIRST team in every high school, I have a hard time believing there would be a federal mandate without federal money. (Or maybe I don't
)
No doubt, in 50 years, FIRST will be sitting pretty financially, as all the FIRST alumni will be sitting on the boards of FIRST's benefactors. Now that's a future we can look forward to.
