What is FIRST?

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a mentor-based program that seeks to inspire young people to be inclusive, team-based innovators and technology leaders in science, by building engineering and technology skills, that can inspire innovation, self-confidence, communication, and leadership capabilities. Founded by inventor Dean Kamen over 30 years ago, FIRST helps young people discover the excitement and rewards of both science and technology. We are inspired by his vision “to transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology leaders."
