Thank you for the link.I think it is great to see STEM getting some very high level support. I listened to the President's speach anouncing the Change the Equation program and really like the website, especially the featured programs section. I am really happy we have a president who values this stuff (really hard to stay non-political here). I encourage all to look at the site, and not just the parts about FIRST as there are other very good programs.
You can see Obama's speach here:
