MakerBot wants to wish Good Luck to everyone participating in the 2012 FIRST Championships, which kick off today!

The games going on in St. Louis as I type are a culmination of “three separate robotics competitions for the ultimate Sport for the Mind. The event includes the FIRST Robotics Competition Championship, the FIRST Tech Challenge World Championship, and the FIRST LEGO League World Festival.”

And be warned: “…it’s the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”

Anyone wondering how to incorporate MakerBot into a robotics education program should browse our Curriculum Page. There are tutorials for several web-based 3D modeling and design applications, as well as a number of specific lesson ideas under Science, Math, Computer Science, and Interdisciplinary categories.
