Go to Post If mentors don't respect the students' desire to learn and take an active role in the construction, they're missing the point of FIRST. If students refuse to accept the knowledge and experience of the mentors, that's not independence - it's arrogance. - DB213parent [more]

Re: Lettering in FIRST

I'm curious about why getting a letter is so important. I liked FIRST because it wasn't a sport and because my team operated so much differently than a sports team would. Athletes need their varsity letters so they can make themselves feel like beautiful unique snowflakes or what have you. Giving letters in FIRST would force you to enumerate everyone's indivdual contributions rather than focusing on the robot that the whole team built. When I'm less tired and more coherent I might share with Chief Delphi my strong opinions regarding Dean Kamen's obsession with having engineers fill the role currently filled by athletes. (Hint: I think that would destroy the field of engineering)
