Purdue FIRST Programs Conference

[Ryan Dognaux]

Purdue FIRST Programs is planning on holding a conference at Purdue University next fall for all college run FIRST teams. This will be an opportunity to
network, share ideas, and strategize on how to continue, and expand, the successful relationships FIRST has with universities. If you are interested in attending, helping out, or have any ideas, please contact Leanne Smith at smith413@purdue.edu. E-mail Leanne and/or reply to this thread with any thoughts or questions.

I like the idea of getting more Universities involved in FIRST. Is there any method of listing all the universities that currently participate in FIRST? (besides looking at sponsors on FIRST's registered teams)

CollegiateFIRST.org is an excellent resource for colleges affiliated with teams as well as scholarship information.


The site was dreamed up by Miss Amanda Morrison and is managed by the students of Team Hammond 71.

Very cool, the search is terrific if you want to see which universities are involved with FIRST. For instance I searched for "Texas" and pretty much every team I knew came up with a particular university even the new teams !

The next list of interest would be all the universities that do not participate in FIRST. How do we challenge those universities to follow other FIRST participating universities in their State?
