About FIRST

What Is FIRST?

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a program designed to create the next generation of STEM professionals by teaching both the hard and soft skills needed to succeed. 

FIRST has four different leagues of competition. We are a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team. 

FIRST Tech Challenge teams (10-15 members, grades 7-12) are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format.

What is the Challenge?

Every year, FIRST releases a new game, or Challenge, for us to meet. As a team, we must build an 18" by 18" by 18" robot that can play the game. 

This year's challenge is Ultimate Goal. Here is the challenge release video:
