FIRSTers:

Your robot is important. You are more important. So: •wear safety glasses •keep your shoes tied •tuck the sweatshirt strings in to your sweatshirt •stick together •take deep breaths •drink water (preferably not near the robot) •keep your hair tied back That’s all, have a safe 2015 season!

Still relevant for 2016!

Working during build season:

Me on a date: So do you like robots?

Them: They're just a bunch of metal and wiring. I find them boring.

Me, shoving breadsticks into my purse: sorry but I have to go home right now immediately

When my teachers called me “dumb,” FIRST gave me a kit of parts and said, “you’re about to get a lot smarter.” when my parents called me useless, FIRST handed me a wrench and said, “prove you aren’t.” when society told me, “you can’t be a scientist, an engineer, or be successful,” FIRST replied, “let them watch you.” when my relatives called me shy, FIRST showed me leadership and said, “speak, because you will change the world.” when I was afraid of the future, FIRST looked right at me and said, “dream.”
