Our Testimonial
Don’t take our word for it
Students, mentors, and parents share their experiences with the team.
FIRST is more than robots. The robots are a vehicle for students to learn important life skills. Kids often come in not knowing what to expect- of the program or of themselves. They leave, even after the first season, with a vision, with confidence, and with a sense that they can create their own future.

Founder, FIRST
I really like seeing students coming in and joining the team with little to no knowledge about anything to do with robotics - but then they grow to know even more than I do.
