Let’s Explore Opportunities

Know a great way to engage kids? Robots! That’s the idea behind FIRST, the world’s leading nonprofit advancing STEM education at all levels and ages. FIRST programs for PreK-12 engage students in hands-on, project-based learning via robotics challenges. The secret of FIRST, though? It’s not just about the robots. Since 1989, we’ve been preparing young people for the future.
