What is FIRST?

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is teams of kids building sophisticated robots for exciting cooper-tition!

FIRST was founded in 1992, by MiT professor Woodie Flowers. There are three divisions: FIRST Lego League (FLL) for elementary and middle-schoolers, FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) for middle school and high school, and the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) for high-schoolers.

FIRST Students learn:

  • STEM skills: programming, mechanical design, and electronics - inspiring STEM career interests!

  • Team skills: teamwork, communication, project management, finance, and school pride!

  • Life skills: inclusion, self confidence, ethics, and “gracious professionalism”!

FIRST is for every age!

FIRST builds lasting STEAM outcomes!
