About FIRST
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a global nonprofit organization that aims to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders and innovators. Through engaging, mentor-based programs, FIRST builds science, engineering, and technology skills, inspires innovation, and fosters well-rounded life skills including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.
Founded in 1989 by inventor Dean Kamen, FIRST provides opportunities for students of all ages to participate in hands-on robotics competitions and STEM learning experiences.
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is one of the programs offered by FIRST. It is designed for students in grades 7-12 to compete head-to-head using a sports model. Teams are responsible for designing, building, and programming their robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams.
FTC emphasizes Gracious Professionalism®, teamwork, and innovation. Participants learn valuable skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, and project management, while also gaining hands-on experience in engineering and programming.
Gracious Professionalism® is a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community. It is a cornerstone of the FIRST ethos, promoting kindness and respect in competition and collaboration.
Each season, teams are presented with a new challenge that encourages creativity and critical thinking. The program not only prepares students for careers in STEM but also helps them develop skills that are essential for success in any field.
