“Every school has a basketball court and many have football fields,but only two businesses benefit from these skill sets, and it’s mostlyfor boys,” will.i.am said. “Football is great, but my niece will neverplay for the NFL. With robotics clubs, boys and girls can learnvaluable STEM skills and how to work in teams – knowledge thathelps secure college scholarships and, eventually, high-paying jobs.With FIRST Robotics, every child can be a winner in school, work andin life. My mission is to put a robotics club in every public school,and we are off to a great start with this new program in LosAngeles”
