Stories like this gives young reporters incentives to keep writing and the kids who’ve been written about love to see their name in the paper. That gives them incentive to keep doing good things.

The reporter made this very interesting.it also helps kids feel as if their important and they can have something to look forward to and it’s a very good hobby, that many may be looking to get into.

But for those interested in this program, I should note that the program is known as the FIRST Lego League. FIRST is an acronym for “*F*or *I*nspiration and *R*ecognition of *S*cience and *T*echnology” which is an organization founded by Dean Kamen (inventor of the Segway) in 1989 in order to develop ways to inspire students in engineering and technology fields.
