FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a global nonprofit organization that prepares young people for the future through a suite of inclusive, team-based robotics programs for students in grades PreK-12. These thrilling, sports-like challenges build their self-confidence and collaborative problem-solving skills and have a proven and lasting impact on STEM learning and interest.

 

Teams are supported by a network of mentors, volunteers, sponsors, educators, parents, and alumni. Together, we inspire the next generation of innovators and leaders.
