FIRSTFIRST, For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, was founded in 1989 with 28 New Hampshire high school teams competing in a basic robotics competition. Since then, it has grown to over 2,300 teams and about 58,000 students participating around the world. FIRST inspires young people to participate and become leaders in science and technology and builds life skills like teamwork, communication, confidence, perseverance, and initiative.
