Each lesson sets up the next: understanding the program, understanding the team, showing the work, and grounding all of it in culture.

  1. We learned what FIRST is and its mission.
  2. We learned how a team is organized internally.
  3. We learned how to show that work to judges through the Awards.
  4. We learned the values that hold all of it together.
