    RICHMOND, Va. - Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Commander Rear Adm. Lorin Selby speaks to students at the 2015 FIRST Tech Challenge Virginia State Championship. The admiral joined about 1,500 spectators at the event, inspiring students - ranging from sixth graders to high school seniors - in his opening remarks and as he engaged them in conversation. Two Navy-mentored teams were among 52 student teams who designed, built and programmed their own robots prior to competing against other squads at the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) event. "FIRST Tech Challenge is a great opportunity for students to get hands-on experience in math, science and engineering," said Selby. "Programs like FIRST Tech Challenge are absolutely critical in developing and inspiring our nation's next generation of scientists, engineers and mathematicians." (U.S. Navy photo)
