We're looking for more parent help
Community outreach is a big part of what we do. Our outreach team strives to engage and inspire members of the community to pursue STEM careers and to experience FIRST. Students interact personally with children, teachers, and professionals at many outreach events each year, sharing the message that FIRST is more than robots.
As always, parents volunteering at these events and helping in finding new outreach opportunities is a must. We're working hard to earn the FIRST Impact Award, the most prestigious award FIRST gives out.
Upcoming opportunities to volunteer are listed in the Team Calendar. Parents are encouraged to sign up as well. You'll get a free team shirt. Help us build a strong community in support of your student and the team.
