Sport for the mind

FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITION

Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”

Under strict rules, limited time and resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with an exciting FIRST Championship.

Getting Started

The really cool thing about FIRST Robotics Competition is...all skill levels are welcomed and needed, technical or non-technical. FIRST Robotics Competition gives high school students and their adult mentors the opportunity to work and create together to solve a common problem.

Individual Team: Guide a team of students as they work together to design, build, and program a robot by exploring advanced engineering concepts, brainstorming innovative ideas, and developing career-ready practices. Participants have access to over $80 million in scholarships to colleges, universities, and technical programs.
