Re: I feel this needs to be said...
Although grades don't always accurately display what a person actually takes away from schoo,l or FIRST for that matter, they are still important because they are one of the key elements to your future. Even if you learn tons of information about life and school subjects through FIRST, if your grades are low it will severly affect what colleges want to accept you and/or keep you. Our team also has a grades policy, and i think it's a good thing that we do. I know that i've made extra sure i stay on top of my game so that i can stay on our team, and i'm sure FIRST inspired other students on teams with these policies in a similar way.

We live for those eureka moments. Whether we win or lose competitions, it's those moments when a student's idea makes something just "click" that will stick with them and influence them to become engineers. - ToddF [more]
