Re: So, what's your favorite part of FRC?
Being able to think and not being ridiculed or judged because I do.

Many smart children dumb themselves down because smart is not cool in many circles. Over the years, I've spoken with teachers from many schools who fight the peer pressure to dumb down and who continue to strengthen their resolve to increase the desire to learn and explore in their classrooms and on their FIRST teams. Being smart is cool. Problem-solving is cool. Thinking is powerful and empowering.

There are many people in FIRST/FRC who enjoy thinking and celebrate its results. I love that.
