Jane,

I think the answer may be 'more than we think'. At a local restaurant yesterday I ran into the mother of one of our students. She described how the both the internship her son had at Northeastern and at NASA were due to his involvement with FIRST. 'They put all those who were in FIRST in one pile and picked from there.' And this is just one of many stories.......as the word gets out, especially to those parents who want their children to succeed.....the pathway to success will be through FIRST teams.
