FIRST will have a large exhibit booth at the upcoming 2018 USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, DC. This is the largest STEM festival in the US. Organizers are anticipating 350,000+ visitors over this 3-day Expo. Participating in this event will be a great outreach opportunity for any FIRST team. We're planning on "MAKING IT LOUD" by having all 4 FIRST programs represented at the FIRST Exhibit. We are looking for FIRST teams (FLL Jr, FLL, FTC and FRC) to join the FIRST Exhibit at this event.
