The FIRST Core Values emphasize friendly sportsmanship, respect for the contributions of others, teamwork, learning, and community involvement and are part of our commitment to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of unity

During this biodiversity-inspired season, teams use STEM and collaboration skills to explore how innovation can support biodiversity, strengthen communities, and help build a healthier, more connected planet.

During the BIOGLOW season, teams were challenged to identify and research a problem that puts biodiversity at risk and design an innovative solution that can help. At tournaments, judges evaluate how the team used the engineering design process and Core Values in their work.
