So, when I was in High School, I did this really awesome thing called FIRST Robotics. I don't know if anyone else has ever heard of it. But you basically build a robot in 6 weeks (it's really big, like 5 feet tall, and 120 pounds), program it and compete. :) My team was pretty good at it.
The program as a whole is not totally about Robots, there's a whole spreading the word part to it. The founders want you to be active in your community, and act with gracious professionalism. It's all about giving back, which I do now that I've graduated.
Their mission is to spread the interest in science and technology.
FIRST _For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology

So, my team launched a project, about trying to spread the word across the world. The two founders Dean Kamen (inventor of Segway) and Woodie Flowers (teacher at MIT) are all about that.
The kids on my team, which I now mentor, created little caricatures, that are downloadable and printable. We sent them to teams, universities, friends and family.
What you do is take a picture with them and send it back.

My question is would any of you wonderful people, especially those outside the US, want to take part in this project?

Love, Rose
