We are always so excited to be hosted in a university venue, where students on teams can compete while getting familiar with the college campus vibe. One of three university venues hosting NE FIRST in 2023 was UNH during Week 4!
The University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH, was excited to host 41 teams from all six New England states for the 2023 NE District UNH Event.
Special thanks to 2023 NE FIRST Presenting Sponsor, BAE Systems, who also provided countless paid hours in the form of numerous key volunteers making this event possible! So many volunteers could be spotted with the signature BAE vest, and we're so thankful for their support.
Our penalty-free high score in qualifications reached 167, one point off of the district high score to date!
