FIRST in Texas and First Alert 7 Interview

09.12.2024

Our very own, Jess Jankowitsch, Director of Impact and Evolution, had the honor of interviewing with First Alert 7 on Monday, September 9th.  

First and foremost, a huge thank you to the Texas Workforce Commission for supporting our teams that are undeserved and underrepresented. Because of you, you enable students from all backgrounds (Title 1 schools, those who have disabilities, home schoolers, military base schools etc.) the opportunity to participate in FIRST in Texas. Jess Jankowitsch said it best in the interview, “By providing students with the opportunity to explore a variety of exciting and interesting activities and competitive opportunities that they might not get in a traditional classroom setting, it gives them a whole new world of options that they may not realize are available to them.”
