June 19, 2011 - New Website Under Development

Well, you might have noticed things have gotten quiet here in the last few months. That's because we have been hard at work assembling our resources to build a new website to be launched later this summer. This new site will encompass FIRST programs in all of Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. We are putting together lists of resources we can provide our FIRST students around the area.

What do you need our site to do for you? Send us your ideas, requests, and any particularly good resources you know of and think we should include! Email Carl at cschreep@usfirst.org!
