FIRST at JavaOne, June 1-5

FIRST and the FIRST Robotics Competition will be part of several events at the JavaOne conference June 1-5 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Many sessions are FREE to all, or FREE to students (registration required).

So come to learn about FIRST and Java. Or better yet, hang out at the Pavilion booth and share your experiences with FIRST to the JavaOne community. There will be thousands of potential new mentors there!

1.The Java™ platform is an interesting vehicle for teaching kids about programming.

2. FIRST is an organization whose mission is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills; inspire innovation; and foster well-rounded life abilities such as self-confidence, communication, and leadership.

3. Robots are cool; robotic competitions are even cooler.

What happens when you mix these three things? You come up with a winning combination that lets kids and "adults" have a lot of fun.
