About FIRST
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing STEM education for students in grades pre-K through 12. Through hands-on robotics programs, FIRST empower youth to build skills, confidence, and resilience. Since its inception in 1989, FIRST has engaged over 3.2 million youth from more than 100 countries.
About the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC)
FRC is one of FIRST’s robotics programs. Each January, a new robotics challenge is announced, and high school teams have six weeks to design, build, and program robots measuring roughly two to three feet wide and three to four feet tall.
These robots compete on basketball-court-sized fields, with events emphasizing FIRST’s core values of gracious professionalism and coopertition (cooperative competition) - principles that prioritize respect, kindness, and collaboration. Teams and individuals can win awards recognizing technical excellence, team spirit, and impactful outreach efforts, such as the Gracious Professionalism Award and the FIRST Impact Award.
