ABOUT FIRST®
Founded in 1989, FIRST® stands for “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology”, and was the brainchild of Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway. FIRST is the world’s largest non-profit for kids robotics. “The mission of FIRST® is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders and innovators"

MORE THAN ROBOTS
Our team is active in our community through various outreach events. We bring our robot to community events all around our parish and beyond, sharing STEM activities, talking with youth and letting kids drive our robot. Our team created summer camps and workshops teaching kids various STEM skills such as coding and building circuits. We enjoy connecting with our community to share our excitement for FIRST®, STEM and robotics.
