Re: FIRST: COLLEGE ?

Plus there are already many FIRST like college competitions. There are things like Solar Car, Mini-Baja, Concrete Canoe, RoboCup, DARPA, etc. All of these probably dont have the excitement and fanfare of FIRST, but they are all short term engineering based problems. These are great programs for college students who want to get their hands dirty and solve a real world engineering problem.

And I have to agree, that the mission of FIRST is to inspire high school kids to pursue careers in science & technology. I also have to agree, inspiration does not usually come at the college age.

And while FIRST is a lot of fun as a high school student, college is a time to grow up, to learn to lead, and to learn to mentor in the FIRST community.

Excellence - is the result of caring more than others think is wise, risking more than others think is safe, dreaming more than others think is practical, and expecting more than others think is possible.
