2008 New York City Regional

[Rich Wong]

Welcome to the NYC FIRST Regional!

This year we are inviting all the attending FRC teams to participate in the
NYC FIRST Team Poster Contest.

This project is named “Our FIRST Story," and it entails teams
creating a poster describing their FIRST experiences/story in only one week.
Their creations will be judged by their own peers.

FRC Teams are invited to create posters of there FIRST experience,
their achievements, their team event or their school participation in FIRST.

The poster will be displayed at the NYC regional venue and will be judged by their peers.
