FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a non-profit global robotics community that aims to inspire and recognize students in science, technology, engineering, and robotics. They provide opportunities for students to develop skills in communication, leadership, and teamwork while engaging the robotics community. The main program offered by FIRST is the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), where student-led teams design and build robots to compete in challenges. FIRST also supports educators by providing resources and opportunities to promote STEAM education in local communities, preparing students for the future.
