FIRST

Founded in 1989 by inventor Dean Kamen, FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a global non-profit organization that prepares young people for the future through a suite of inclusive, team-based robotics programs for ages 4-18 (PreK-12). 
Every year, students are given a new challenge and ~8 weeks to completely design, prototype, build, and program a robot to compete. Check out this year’s Game Animation!

FIRST prides itself on building “More Than Robots.” Teams are encouraged to have an impact in their communities through service projects and initiatives.
