Here are some studies done by Brandeis University discussing the impact of many
aspects of the FIRST programs: http://www.usfirst.org/who/content.aspx?id=46
Also, several teachers have put together
Power point presentations. You might look at the TechBrick website for many
fantastic resources: http://www.techbrick.com/Lego/TechBrick/TeamTips/NewTeams/index.htm
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,
