Yes. We are trying to contact university representatives and find out why they sponsor FIRST. Plenty of research has been done on the effects of FIRST on the students who are involved, I would point anyone who is interested in these to the report done by Brandeis University, which can be found on the FIRST website here: http://usfirst.org/aboutus/content.a...terms=brandeis.

We are asking that ChiefDelphi readers who know of an university which supports FIRST ask a faculty representative if they would be willing to fill out a survey, then contact us either through ChiefDelphi or via email at fqp@wpi.edu


Thank you
