FIRST stands for “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology”. Through this organization, students learn Core Values and real-world skills as they compete in robot games. Our favorite sayings that describe FIRST are “The hardest fun you’ll ever have” and “The only sport where everyone can go pro.” To learn more about FIRST, check out http://www.firstinspires.org
