Pengiun Joe is an unknown quantity at this point
Our teams main goal has always been to make sure the students learn something. Because in our view that's what FIRST really is, a learning exeperience above all else. No one on our team has been really thrilled by the trip to Disney (we're too busy at the competition to see any of the park except at meals).
Our team functions with engineers mentoring students, and that's the valuable part. Even if they don't go into an engineering field or anything technical, the hope is that they come away from the program after learning from it. As much as FIRST tries to encourage people to go into these kinds of fields, it isn't a recruitment tool. It's a school program, and schools are there so that we can learn.
