Hello all, If you have noticed that I have not posted for a while, I have new website, that is NOT running on wordpress. My new website is at www.oliverdigital.com. I have also joined the alpinerobotics robotics team. I am working on the website for the team, www.alpinerobotics.com, which is where I will be for a while, but I will still be posting here.
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a multinational non-profit organization, that aspires to transform culture, making science, math, engineering, and technology as cool for kids as sports are today. FIRST was founded in 1989 by Dean Kamen, the innovator of the Segway, the iBOT Independence wheelchair, and many other inventions in the medical field. The purpose of FIRST is to educate high school age students about the growing fields of math, science, and technology through a fun and engaging robotics competition. It also provides for a chance for students to meet one-on-one with real industry leaders, engineers, and more through the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). Without FIRST, this possibility would never be available to students.
