I think they were both at the 2013 White House Science Fair.

Yup I was lucky enough to meet Bomb Squad (16) and the famous Falcon Robotics (842)!

It was definitely an amazing experience!

That awkward moment when you now see the title of the picture and realize you need to be more observant. But that's super freaking amazing, and tbh my team started freaking out when we saw your selfie with Bill. It's super duper cool, like it's goals.

Yeah... It was amazing, although I look horrible (I can't believe I forgot to pull my tie up all the way ) I was hoping to display my project, but I'm SUPER glad they didn't have room for me b/c I would have not been able to walk around and see all the other AMAZING projects. Ironically, I was actually invited through 4-H for my work with geospatial mapping and partially due to the fact that I presented to OSTP at the White House Conference Center a few weeks before with my AWESOME roundtable group from the National 4-H Conference, and ran into John and his mother from 16 and some of the Carl Hayden Robotics Team Members 842 along with some FIRST Board Trustees.
This was also the year when he announced the FIRST Vista program (VISTA STEM program).
