Re: How Participants, Mentors, and People alike feel how they have benefited from F.I

I echo your experience of the intangible benefits. On the more concrete side of things, I know several of my students have received scholarships and job offers as a result of their FRC involvement... however a totally unexpected spin off for me was that my involvement as the lead teacher of team 1346 helped lead to my current, post-secondary teaching position.

I'll also echo the words of thousands of students when I say that through FRC I've made many friends whom I would simply have otherwise never met.

So while I thought my involvement in FRC would be primarily altruistic, I have to say that it has given back to me at least as much as I have put in.
