FIRST EMAIL/FIRST Featured on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams
Greetings Teams:
We are pleased to announce that FIRST was featured on last night’s NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams in a two-minute segment titled “Putting science ahead of entertainment, sport: Inventor Kamen’s Super Bowl of Smarts gives bright kids a chance to shine.” In producing the piece, NBC met with a FIRST Robotics Competition team during the FRC season and attended the New York City Regional and the Championship in Atlanta. The segment strongly communicates the FIRST mission to celebrate science and technology. The NBC Nightly News broadcast reaches an audience of 12 million, and even more people can see it online.
