Mission Statement
The FIRST Robotics Competition combines the excitement and camaraderie of sports with the rigor and precision of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). In 6 weeks known as Build Season, students design, manufacture, wire, and program their own robot to complete certain tasks in front of thousands at that year’s competitions. This is the closest to real-world engineering a student could possibly get, and involvement in FIRST prepares students for the future.
