FIRST in MN, ND, & SD team updates

Hello everyone,

Congratulations to all of you on a successful event season. It was exciting to be back in person with all of you – the energy at all of our events was just remarkable. I have just a few notes to pass along to all of you. Please make sure you share this with other mentors who need to see this information.

• The FIRST & U.S. Air Force Leadership Experience is back for their 10^th year! This summer, the U.S. Air Force will be hosting 24 lucky FIRST Mentors & Coaches (must be a K-12 teacher) at Eglin Air Force Base in Fort Walton Beach, FL for a 3-day, 4-night all-expenses paid trip filled with leadership training, guest speakers, and amazing tours. If you’re interested please submit an application at https://www.airforce.com/leadership by Friday, May 20^th, 2022 for consideration. Good luck!
• The Benton County Fair is inviting FIRST teams to a robotics showcase the week of August 2-7, 2022. The attached image has more details.
• FIRST will announce our 2022-2023 season theme to the FIRST community on Saturday, April 23, through a video on the FIRST Official YouTube at 2 P.M. ET and will also be screened for FIRST Championship attendees during the Closing Ceremony on April 23.
• FIRST Choice closes Friday, April 15, at 12 noon Eastern Time, so there’s still time to use any remaining credits!
