Here are some studies done by Brandeis University discussing the impact of
many aspects of the FIRST programs:

Also, several teachers have put together Power point presentations. You
might look at the TechBrick website for many fantastic resources:

I have also seen a very nice PowerPoint presentation made by one of our
Albemarle County teachers, Cindy Cass at Woodbrook Elementary School.
And I have heard countless personal accounts from coaches that are truly
heartwarming and give reason for great optimism for these kids.
Good Luck,
Ginny Echelberger
