„You are part of the first wave of this movement that will bring forth an important change in your country, that will change your lives and that will help you change the world. Right now, you are joining a community that includes 500.000 students and 150.000 volunteers that participate every year at FIRST events and these numbers grow year after year. Everything is based on technology and innovation nowadays. You are the people that solve problems and I guarantee you that out of the 1400 students that are here now, in 10 maybe 15 years, all of them will uncover new cures for certain diseases that don’t exist nowadays.” stated Ken Johnson, Director World Wide FIRST Tech Challenge.
