They would love to read this, plus you never know what might happen.

Thanks, I just sent the email!


You're very welcome. I think that while the focus of FIRST has always been about inspiring people while engaging them in STEM opportunities, many people and teams can get caught up on the robot and winning a little too much. Yes, the robot is important and winning awards is great, but I believe FIRST is about the whole experience of your journey through the program and everything you have gained from it.

Drew- You're welcome as well. I definitely want to make everyone proud and let them know that their efforts were worth it, so I will try my hardest to do positive things with the skills I have learned from FIRST.
