FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a multinational non-profit organization that aspires to transform culture and make science, math, engineering, and technology as cool for kids as sports are today. They do this by sponsoring robotics competitions around the world for students of every age.

The Mount Olive robotics program, which started ten years ago with eight students, is now recognized as one of the premier robotics programs in the country. It is supported by the Mount Olive Robotics Education Association (MOREA), which was established to support the efforts of FIRST in Mount Olive Township and surrounding communities. MOREA is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization made up of parents, educators, community members and business leaders dedicated to developing self-confidence, leadership and life skills among MORT students while instilling a passion for science and technology. We do this by sponsoring educational programs, student scholarships, internships and community service projects in and around Mt. Olive Township.
