Statistics

FIRST, also known as For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, is a non-profit STEM engagement program for kids worldwide. FIRST is a robotics community that prepares young people for the future through a suite of inclusive, team-based robotics programs for ages 4-18 that can be facilitated in school or in structured after-school programs. Their goal is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders and innovators by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills, which inspire innovation and foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.

There are 4 major components in the FIRST program :

FIRST Lego League Jr
FIRST Lego League (FLL)
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC)
FIRST Robotics Challenge (FRC)

FIRST Lego League Junior (FLL Jr)

FIRST LEGO League Jr introduces science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to children ages 4-16* through fun, exciting hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem-solving experiences through a guided, global robotics program, helping today’s students and teachers build a better future together.Our three divisions inspire youth to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding, and design skills through hands-on STEM learning and robotics.

FIRST Lego League (FLL)

FIRST LEGO League is an introduction of hands-on, STEM learning designed to inspire formative STEM concepts with young children through fun challenges and competitions using LEGO educational materials. FIRST LEGO League gives students and their adult coaches the opportunity to work and create together to solve a common problem.

FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC)

FIRST Tech Challenge is a robotics competition for students in grades 7-12 to learn to think like engineers. Teams design, build, and program robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams.

Robots are built from a reusable platform, powered by Android technology, and can be coded using a variety of levels of Java-based programming.

*Syosset ELITE competes in FTC

FIRST Robotics Challenge (FRC)

The FIRST Robotics Competition is an international high school robotics competition. Each year, teams of high school students, coaches, and mentors work during a six-week period to build robots capable of competing in that year's game that weigh up to 125 pounds.

FIRST Robotics Competition teams design, program, and build a robot starting with a standard kit of parts and common set of rules to play in a themed head-to-head challenge. Teams also build a brand, develop community partnerships for support, and work to promote STEM in their local community.
