I have been very busy this past year with FIRST. The mission of FIRST is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting Mentor-based programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills.
In addition to looking after the FIRST BC website, I’ve been volunteering at FIRST events and supporting team FIX IT 3491.
The big news is that FIX IT won the Inspire Award at the Houston FIRST Tech Challenge World Championship in Houston Texas.
But there was so much that happened before that.

I supported the FIX IT team at an outreach event at VIATEC’s Discover Tectoria 2017.
