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.   
LINK TO SIGN-UP as a FIRST Exhibitor:  https://goo.gl/forms/9K4CPvRA5WLMRqSd2
NOTE:  Teams are encouraged to sign up for multiple shifts and multiple days.  At least 2 students are required at your exhibit.  For FLL Jr and FLL teams, at least 1 adult chaperone is required to there during the team's exhibit period.  We advise teams put their crew in shift schedules so that your team members can also enjoy the other exhibits at the festival.  Students can earn service hours for volunteering at this event.
