Re: STEAM Actually comming to FRC, and im not happy
It just feels like, of all the things FIRST does and can continue to do, we have so much more to worry about than the letters in our acronym or if we have to share a little grant money with a chronically underfunded portion of our educational system. I know it's possible to worry about several things at once, so this isn't really an argument, but we have some inspirin' to do.
Personally, if this leads to even a little bit more respect, appreciation, and incorporation of the arts into FIRST teams, I'm happy for the change. I'm done with edgy kids who think they're better than people with artistic sides, and who think they can just ignore that entire branch of human expression and still be the most effective scientists and engineers they can be.
