WHAT IS FIRST?
FIRST is More Than Robots!
Founded in 1989 by inventor Dean Kamen, 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 ages 4-18 (PreK - 12). Their programs are suitable for schools of structured afterschool activities and receive support from a vast network of volunteers, educators, and sponsors/donors, including over 200 Fortune 500 companies.
Because their programs are More Then Robots, FIRST participants are guided by a signature set of Core Values to conduct research, fundraise, design, build, and showcase their achievements. Their thrilling sports like challenges build the students self-confidence and collaborative problem-solving skills and have a proven and lasting impact on STEM learning and interest. The participants and alumni gain access to education and career discovery opportunities, connections to exclusive schorarships and employers, and a place in the FIRST community for life.
