FIRST® Robotics Competition is a STEM-driven program run by FIRST®. With limited resources, high school teams consisting of students, teachers, engineers, and volunteer mentors design, program, and build robots within strict rules to complete challenging tasks against a field of competitors. Using funds raised through their “brand” and community outreach, the students learn the importance of public relations and community involvement.
The positive impact on FIRST Robotics Competition participants is gratifying and well documented. Over 88% have more interest in doing well in school and 92% are more interested in attending college. 83% of students express that they are interested in becoming a scientist or engineer and 93% have gained mechanical/ technical skills (FIRST Robotics Impact).
