What is FIRST?

More than robots.

FIRST is an international robotics community that helps young people build technical skill, confidence, leadership, and teamwork through hands-on engineering challenges.

FIRST Robotics Competition

In FRC, high school teams design, build, program, and compete with industrial-scale robots while working under real deadlines and competition constraints.

Gracious Professionalism

FIRST culture values strong competition, respect, learning, cooperation, and helping others succeed.

Why It Matters

Students leave the program with engineering experience, project ownership, communication skills, and a clearer path toward STEM careers.
