FIRST in NH
The home of FIRST headquarters and FIRST founder Dean Kamen, New Hampshire hosts more than 250 teams across all programs. FIRST is highly supported at the state level: it's a Learn Everywhere program and there is funding to ensure any student that wants to participate can do so. This spirit culminates in the Governor's Cup, a unique annual off-season competition.
Join in the fun! NE FIRST events are open to the public.
A typical competition starts with teams arriving, getting set up, and practicing before they participate in matches that determine their qualification ranking. Events will include an opening ceremony each morning, a lunch break (concessions available!) and a concluding awards ceremony! When you arrive, look for the info desk to find the day's schedule or a map of where teams from near you are set up. Questions? Email the contacts on this page!
Chop Shop’s vision is to build a competitive and fun team environment that helps the community. They work as a team to successfully educate and inspire a productive new generation by spreading FIRST’s values throughout their community.
