Re: The "FIRST" experience?
It's a very interesting point
When you think about it though, what do we expect FIRST to teach us? FIRST is an organization, not a college course. There is no set curriculum of what you must learn. As a result everybody will learn a different set of things in varying amounts.
Another thing to keep in mind is that people tend to learn what they want to learn. For instance, a person who truly wants to know everything there is to know about trig will have an easier time learning it than someone who doesn't give a hoot about trig. If you can impress on people that something is actually worth learning (maybe through say, a competition) then they will be more inclined to learn it. (sorry if that was redundant.)
