FIRST and Obama's Innovation Strategy

[Mr. Pockets]

I have doubts about how streamlined the end result would actually be (sorry, my political cycnisim is at a new high at the moment), but in theory it sounds like a neat idea. The idea behind giving teachers incentives might actually kill two birds with one stone. Teachers might as a result be more eager to volunteer to help out teams, and at the same time potentially make them more likely to promote the program among their peers and administrations (this time I'm figuring that I'm being overly optimistic, but it definitely seems worth a shot).

Out of curiosity, is there any way for teams not in the states of the listed representatives to help out?
