What's FIRST?
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded in 1989 as a non-profit organisation in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA. The aim of this organization is to encourage and inspire young people's interest in science and technology. It has since existed for more than 25 years as a STEM education programme for children around the world.
