Great ideas in this thread. I would like to add a couple of things. When talking to administrators who need to be comparing FIRST to all the other school activities I would stress all that you have and other students have learned since joining FIRST that could never be taught in the classroom. I would also stress how it is like a work experience that mirrors what goes on in a real technology based buisness. It helps to show them why they need to spend time and money on the program.
