FIRST® Robotics Competition combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Teams of students are challenged to design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program a robot to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. It’s as close to “real world” engineering as a student can get. Professional mentors volunteer their time and talents to guide each team.
(if room) Students get to:
• Develop design, project management, programming, teamwork, strategic thinking, and Coopertition® skills.
• Work alongside professional engineers.
• Build and compete with a robot of their own design.
• Learn and use sophisticated hardware and software.
• Access exclusive scholarships from hundreds of colleges/universities
