Re: Reasons For Being Interested in Engineering, Programming, and what not
Family was involved in FIRST at another somewhat area school and got me hooked. When I heard my school was starting a team I immediately asked to join what was a "College Physics class" team. I was one of 2 freshman on the junior/senior team. I feel in love and this is now my 7th year involved with FRC and 6th with FLL. I'm not a engineering, programming or any sort of science student but FIRST made such a huge impact on my life that I am working towards a degree to get a job with FIRST so I can inspire kids to pursue these areas.

A well-working FIRST robot can be charismatic. People are attracted to it. Teams rally behind it. Little kids stare with wide eyes. Relatives say to their friends "look at what my niece helped invent". This is an awesome thing.
