FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring young people to become leaders and innovators in STEM. FIRST provides students with hands-on, mentor-based programs where they design, build, and program robots to solve real-world engineering challenges. Through this process, students develop not only technical skills but also essential life skills such as teamwork, leadership, critical thinking, and resilience.

FIRST is more than a robotics competition. It is a platform that empowers students to discover their potential, pursue their passions, and build the future.
