Programming Team Motto: "You can Learn Anything"

This video was made by Khan Academy, a website dedicated to providing a free world class education to anyone anywhere for free - forever. If you want to learn programming for web development, game development, simulation, animation, or querying data please visit their site.

​You can Learn Anything - with Programming - You can do Anything

This video was made by Code.org, an organization dedicated to increasing accessibility of computer science education for everyone and making computer science part of the core curriculum in schools because it is such a necessary skill in the modern era. Code.org also founded the initiative, "Hour of Code" which encourages everyone everywhere to try an introduction to programming for at least an hour from December 7 - December 12.

Forums

The Minnesota First Robotics page, hosted by National Instruments, is a good place for programmers and mentors to ask any questions they may have. In addition, the Chief Delphi Forums are a great place to ask any FIRST related questions, including ones about code.
