FIRST and the Competition

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an organization that provides students of all ages with an opportunity to work in groups and to gain knowledge in the mechanics behind robot building. In the process, participants learn important life skills, such as cooperation and time management. As a team, we work together to achieve the goal of FIRST: to spread our love and appreciation for both robotics and teamwork throughout the community.
