STEM @ Work Day

It is very important for us at NE FIRST to keep our community engaged during this pandemic and we've realized the importance of applying what we've learned from FIRST to the real world. That's why this November we assembled some of FIRST's most dedicated mentors and supporters in New England to help inspire what it means to put STEM to work. What a blast!

If you missed the great presentations live, everything was recorded to help our community take advantage of the lessons learned all season long:
