Re: Why did you join FIRST?

My older son joined a team his freshman year of HS. He will be graduating (we hope

) from college in May with a degree in ME and a minor in Engineering Entrepreneurship. FIRST introduced him to both areas.
He introduced me to FIRST and I tried to help his team.
I still don't speak robot, but I helped with the other stuff.
Kathie and I started NEMO when we discovered there were others like us out there who helped with the other stuff.
In 2004 I was recruited to help more teams and joined the original class of FIRST Senior Mentors.
