A good reason actually Tonight at 2000 hours (8 pm) Eastern, CNN is doing a story about education in American that will feature FIRST: For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. This program consists of teams of high school students who design and build robots, and then take part in competitions around the country. As part of the effort, they not only have to do the work that requires, but they also have to do a lot of hours of community service. Cooking with the Troops is fortunate in that the Jeff High School team -- Precision Guessworks -- has chosen CwtT as one of its community service projects. The young lady above is one of those students, and helped at our recent event at Tippecanoe Mall. The student teams that take part in these competitions are simply amazing. I've been to one, and want to go to more as they are fasinating, fun, and enjoyable. Can't swear about anything else, but watching to learn more about FIRST is well worth your time. LW
