FRC - First Robotics Competition
Grades 9-12
"By participating in a FIRST program...you will gain the ability to appreciate another’s unique skills and, if you put your heart into it, it will change your self-image. As a result, you will get the deep satisfaction of knowing that you are in the game. Being in the game will make your heart sing a lot more than money or fame. FIRST is one of the best opportunities you will ever have to know you are competent in a fast game." - Dr. Woodie Flowers, FIRST National Advisor and Pappalardo Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering, MIT
Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology, FIRST Robotics Competition is the ultimate sport for the mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”
