Can you be more specific?
I'm pretty sure that encouraging students (and mentors) to voluntarily carry out the activities involved in this suggestion, is close enough to FIRST's published mission that we wouldn't have to worry about misaligned goals.
Maybe FIRST's goals are broader than you think? And, if I'm right, I certainly hope you find the broadened horizons exciting!
