FIRST, Not Just an Acronym
To describe FIRST in one word would definitely be challenging. You could be literal and say it as it is, "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology", but how would that describe how you FIRST really means to you? To us, FIRST has been a creative outlet for students interested in learning about engineering and technology. It has brought students together to work as a team to complete a challenging task. But that's not all what FIRST is about. As a rookie member, being at a regional was really exciting. The challenges that we faced and the anxiety that we had was truly an unforgetable experience. Being part of something this amazing can be difficult to describe to someone who has not participated in such an event. Engineering and Science is brought to students in such an entertaining way, it's hard not to pay attention in class! FIRST has not only helped us on the field, but off the field. We spread knowledge to others in the community about the importance of engineering and science. Most of our sponsors have helped us because of the message FIRST brings. Participating in FIRST has helped students do well in school and beyond. Many of our alumni have been influenced by FIRST, and further their studies in Engineering and other sciences. In conclusion, FIRST is an innovation for the future. As the future leaders of tommorow, it is important to strive for advancing technology and keep moving forward. FIRST is absolutely on top of that... |
