FIRST® Robotics Competition teams design, program, and build a robot starting with a standard kit of parts and common set of rules to play in a themed head-to-head challenge. We also build a brand, develop community partnerships for support, and work to promote STEAM in our local community.

Because our programs are More Than Robots®, FIRST participants are guided by a signature set of Core Values to conduct research, fundraise, design, build, and showcase their achievements. Our thrilling, sports-like challenges build their self-confidence and collaborative problem-solving skills and have a proven and lasting impact on STEAM learning and interest. Our participants and alumni gain access to education and career discovery opportunities, connections to exclusive scholarships and employers, and a place in the FIRST community for life.

Team 25096 is back for more! FIRST Tech Challenge is the premier middle school sport where teams of students, guided by mentors, design, and build 18”x18” robots to compete in a FIRST designed game in a contest of ingenuity and innovation to explore the ocean depths with Into the Deep.

Teams 64210 and 69403 aim to dive in with the FIRST Lego League Challenge Submerged. Weekly team meetings will encourage upper elementary students to take on all of the undersea challenges of this year’s game!

 

The FIRST Core Values are fundamental to FIRST and unique to its programs. They emphasize friendly sportsmanship, respect for the contributions of others, teamwork, learning, and community involvement and are part of our commitment to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusion.
