Does your school not have a Robotics team? Start one!

Robotics teams are the best way to get involved with STEAM!

One way to learn about Robotics teams is through an organization called FIRST.

​

​

​

​

FIRST is "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology"

​

What is FIRST? 

"FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a robotics community that prepares young people for the future through a suite of inclusive, team-based robotics programs for ages 4-18 (PreK-12) that can be facilitated in school or in structured afterschool programs... Teams operate under a signature set of FIRST Core Values to conduct research, fundraise, design, build, and showcase their achievements during annual challenges."

​

The Mission of FIRST

"The mission of FIRST® is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders and innovators, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership."
