This brings up a very important point!
With Dean's 2008 Homework Assignment, it is our responsibility to ensure that we clearly communicate the important things about FIRST.
In reality, whose fault is it that this reporter interpreted the FRC Kick-off event as a "robotics convention," and the Segway as a "scooter?" Is it his for not listening clearly, or ours for not explaining explaining clearly?
It is very important that we all realize that not everyone "gets it." That not everyone understands what
FIRST is all about, or what FRC, FTC, FLL and JFLL stand for.
It is our responsibility to ensure that we are telling the right story to the media. If we properly tell the story of
FIRST, I truly believe that the media will properly report it....
In short, we shouldn't blame the media for what may very well be our own problem for assuming that they get it! Our goal is to make sure that they get it!
