Google is giving $10,000,000 (that's ten million dollars) to Project 10^100. submissions were accepted from around the world, and over 150,000 ideas were received. Of these, 67 have been selected as the finalists and have been categorized into 10 categories. FIRST Robotics is one of those 67 projects, in the "Enhance science and engineering education" category. Five of the ten categories will receive $2M to fund the ideas in that category.
