Springs Charter Schools FIRST Robotics Competition teams Cyborg Zombies (Team 3470, Temecula) and Pallindrones (Team 4114, Hemet) invite you to see last year’s competition as part of prime time television.
The Fosters is a popular family drama on the Freeform channel (formerly the ABC Family channel). For the last several weeks, one of the plot lines in the show has centered on characters who are on their High School’s robotics team. On the show scheduled to air Monday, August 15th, at 8:00 p.m., FIRST Robotics Competition will take center stage as the characters attend a Regional competition featuring all the excitement and drama of FIRST STRONGHOLD! FIRST friend Emma Dumont (FRC Alumna, Current FRC Mentor, Model, Dancer, and Actress) has a role in the show, as well as nearly 100 other FIRSTers!
The entire show won’t be about FIRST, but we will be getting a substantial portion, and with an average viewership of nearly 900,000 people so far this season, we’re hoping to expose lots of new people to FIRST. Please tell your team, and have your team tell their friends and other folks who may be interested! With the number of FIRST folks we had involved, you never know who you may recognize! (Please be aware that The Fosters is rated TV-14; some elements may not necessarily represent FIRST values, and the show may not be suitable viewing for everyone).
Join the conversation on social media! If you’re watching the show on August 15th, let us know by live tweeting us at @FIRSTweets and/or @FRCTeams!
