FIRST, which stands for "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology" is an organisation founded by inventor, Dean Kamen, in 1989. Established in New Hampshire USA, FIRST was designed to engage students aged 6 - 18 in science, technology, engineering and maths. Students who participate in the FIRST program work alongside industry mentors to gain workplace-ready skills. FIRST inspires students to be problem solvers, pursue careers in STEM-related fields and become the leaders and innovators of their generation. ICRobotics compete in FIRST Robotics Competition (for ages 14 - 18) - one of four programs that make up FIRST. |
