How did you hear about FIRST and WHY did you get involved?

In Grade 8, I was new at my school and there was a girl in my homeroom that I wanted to be friends with. She was doing FLL, so I decided to do it too. When I got to high school, I joined our FRC team because it seemed like the natural next step. It wasn't that I was super passionate about it (yet); it just never occurred to me to stop doing robotics. I got hooked that first year and the rest is history (and that girl is still one of my best friends).

I agree with the others about the video: it's a little too specific if you're trying to recruit people. You could bring in some testimonials from people on FLL and FTC teams and maybe even some alums, to see what impact FIRST has had on them.
