Impact of FIRST on students:
Gracious Professionalism among teams makes me think that many FIRST teams are amazing role models. It isn’t about team-oriented actions rather it is an overall effort to assist one another while still being competitive. – Jules
FIRST Robotics was the first team I joined in 9th grade, and I met a lot of my friends through it. It allowed me to contribute a lot to a team, even though I didn’t know anything about building or programming robots. - Caitlin
Robotics has given me more confidence and much more direction as to what exactly I want to do in life, by giving me technical experience that has solidified my desire to be an engineer. . .One important role model characteristic among FIRST teams would be the ability to work with other teams as well as engaging your local community. – Megan
The FIRST robotics program lets me experience things I probably would have never done. . . One really good characteristic within FIRST Robotics teams is that the people really care about you. . . Teams practice gracious professionalism and show respect to each other while not being too serious at the same time. – Brian

When a friend of mine told me about our school’s FIRST Robotics team, I instantly knew that was going to become a very big part of my life. – Dennis
FIRST has taught me the ways to intuitively think and design a working robot. The program changed my career choice. – Eli
Before being involved with the FIRST robotics program, I never really imagined actually working on robots. I’ve never built a robot from scratch before. It was a unique and enriching experience to get a stronger grasp on technology. – Mike V.
At first, I was unsure about the pursuit of engineering. The FIRST robotics program helped reassure my choice in engineering. – John
FIRST teaches students character, like respect and honesty in a team environment. - Eric
FIRST Robotics has exposed me to a whole new perspective on problem-solving and it has also has given me important values like respect, sportsmanship and teamwork. It has been a great activity and I'm looking forward to many more years as a member of Cold Fusion. -Brendan
