The voting began today (and runs 7 days) -- voting once each day -- for a video contest put on by Dow for FIRST teams. Around 70 teams from all levels (FRC, FLL, FTC) made 60 second videos describing some global issue they'd like to be addressed in their lifetimes and how STEM can do it.
My team submitted a video

There are many interesting ideas, touting the idea that FIRST is more than robots, and that many might follow careers that don't fit a normal path, but they still gain much from FIRST experience. I encourage watching some of videos teams made, you can find them all here
