Alumni: Continuing in our FIRST Community

What do you think of when you think FIRST?
Do you think of the people that you meet?
The events you go to?
Your Team? Other Teams?
ROBOTS?!?!?!

What do I think of when I think of FIRST?
I think of you.

Yes you! Whoever you are reading this blog post. FIRST is a lot of things, but most importantly it�s the people. All the many things that FIRST is are nothing without the people who make up our community. 

There are many ways to remain a part of the FIRST community after your time as a student on a FIRST Team ends! As a FIRST Alum, you can remain part of the community as an event-day volunteer and/or team coach or mentor; or donor; or advocate!
In addition to the ways you can give back to FIRST, we want to stay a part of your life and continue to help you be successful. As a high school participant on a FIRST Team you�ll gain access to our alumni programs: The FIRST Scholarship Program, FIRST Internship Portal and FIRST Alumni Group on LinkedIn.

To learn more about any of the opportunities above, subscribe to our Alumni Updates and Scholarships Blog or email me directly with questions and I look forward to connecting with/ hearing from you!

Best, 
Michelle Long, FIRST Alumni Relations, alumni@firstinspires.org

AndyMark Will Now be the Source for New FTC Fields and Game Elements

FIRST Tech Challenge is excited to partner with AndyMark on Field and Game Elements for the 2014-2015 Season.  That means you no longer have to build a practice field, but can purchase one from AndyMark and have it shipped to you after Kickoff (no Team pre-orders!). They will offer teams a full or half field option and each kit comes with the Field Setup elements and Game Elements. Don't worry, you can still build a field if you want to! But what will they be? Each year, the Game Design Committee drums up a new element that presents a variety of manipulation challenges for teams to overcome. They've chosen wiffle balls, rings, two varieties of racquet balls, hockey pucks and batons, to name a few.  Since elements are different from year to year, teams must redesign their robots each season to accommodate the new item and the scoring objectives. What do you think this year's element will be?  Leave your guesses below and go to a kickoff event , or go to www.usfirst.org/...
