What is FIRST ?

For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology

FIRST is more than robots. The robots are a vehicle for students to learn important life skills.

Kids often come in not knowing what to expect – of the program nor of themselves. They leave, even after the first season, with a vision, with confidence and with a sense that they can create their own future.”

– FOUNDER, DEAN KAMEN
