Go to Post FIRST is not a party. It is the most important activity a high school age student can do. - JohnBoucher [more]

Re: help with FIRST paper

There are a number of links on the first website

This is the best quote I ever saw....

Steve Sanghi, President and CEO of Microchip Technology Inc., is a strong supporter of FIRST Organization (For Innovation and Recognition of Science and Technology) and sums up his sentiments about the educational organization as such:

FIRST isn’t just about building robots, it’s about developing life skills. The kids learn about developing relationship skills and responsibility through teamwork, finance skills through fundraising and budgeting, and project management skills through meeting timelines. On their own level, the students are actually creating a business and they mustlearn to present themselves and their organization with knowledge and pride.

The end product might be a functioning robot, but it’s not just about the technology. The real lessons are learned in the process of designing, trouble-shooting, and problem-solving to achieve the final goal as one entity. The success is in the teamwork, the relationships, and the experience, not just in the results of the competition. The partnership between academia, the community and local industry, and the support of the students, is what will build our future employees and our future citizens.
