Thought you would all like to see this. Sadly no mention of FIRST in the article itself, but very exciting to see the president excited about FIRST and Dean's vision:
“If you win the N.C.A.A. championships, you come to the White House. Well, if you’re a young person and you’ve produced the best experiment or design, the best hardware or software, you ought to be recognized for that achievement, too,” Mr. Obama said. “Scientists and engineers ought to stand side by side with athletes and entertainers as role models, and here at the White House, we’re going to lead by example.”
I wonder if he'll come to Atlanta this year...
