You're exactly right that this is the mission of FIRST, to change the culture on how Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are viewed. This is also what the chairmans award is all about, a culture change.

You can take a look at some of the Hall of Fame teams in first to see how they approached this opportunity (I like opportunities instead of problems), or even here on CD. There are quite a few white papers on here of team's chairmans award, you can take a look at them to see how they handled it.
