in 1989 by inventor Dean Kamen. The organization’s vision
is to create a world where science and technology are
celebrated and where young people can dream of becoming
science and technology heroes.
The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is a unique varsity sport
of the mind designed to help high school-aged young people
discover how interesting and rewarding the life of engineers
and researchers can be. FRC challenges teams of young minds
and their mentors to solve a common problem in a six-week
timeframe using a standard “kit of parts” and a common set of
rules. FIRST redefi nes winning for these students because they
are rewarded for excellence in design, demonstrated team
spirit, gracious professionalism and maturity, and the ability
to overcome obstacles. Scoring the most points is secondary.
FIRST also off ers the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), a more
aff ordable and accessible program for high school students,
the FIRST LEGO® League (FLL) for 9- to 14-year-olds and the
Junior FIRST LEGO League (FLL) for 6- to 9-year-olds. Teams
