FIRST in an Elevator

[216Robochick288]

I looked around for a thread and found nothing on it, so here we go with a fun little "game" of sorts.

Here is the situation. You are in an elevator with some high ranking businessmen, going from the ground floor to the 30th, and you are wearing your FIRST t-shirt. Taking a moment to realize you are stuck in an elevator for a period of time with these total strangers, you decide to strike up a conversation, which quickly turns to the topic of "Why is your shirt like that?" (All I can imagine at this point is a Wildstang kid in their Tye-die shirts in an elevator with some men in full suits)

Seizing the opportunity to explain FIRST to a total stranger (hey, who knows, maybe they would be interested in sponsoring a FIRST team or FIRST itself), you have a little over a minute to explain FIRST to these businessmen and get them excited about it.

FIRST is a wonderful program, but how do you sum up all the years of experience you may have had into an elevator ride, and without a visual?


I know there are Elevator pitches, where you have a product and about a minute to sell it to a judge, take this as the same kind of thing, and lets see what we can do!
