Event Details
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 resources, and an intense six-week time limit, 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. In FIRST Robotics Competition Teams get to:
- Learn from professional engineers
- Master STEM skills
- Learn and use sophisticated software, hardware, and power tools
- Build and compete with a robot of their own design
- Improve teamwork, interpersonal, and communication skills
- Compete and cooperate in alliances and tournaments
- Earn a place at the FIRST Championship
- Qualify for millions of dollars in college scholarships
