Gov. Gary Herbert, fourth from left, operates a robot named Perry the Platypus under the watchful eyes of its creators — Hannah Snyder, 17, left, Jocelyn Hummel, 17, Gerrod Nelson, 15, and Katelyn Hummel, 15 — during an event to show off FIRST Utah Robotics teams and their creations at the Capitol in Salt Lake City on Tuesday. FIRST stands for Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. The students invited both the public and legislators to operate the robots and to learn more about the FIRST program and the importance of educating young people in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
