"A reminder, the FIRST competition is more than robots. It's about people. It's about learning to work together. It's working together toward a shared goal, doing teamwork. It's about finding and using each individual's unique talent to make the project team greater than the sum of its parts. It's about applying skills that will lead to success in whatever you do in life."

Community Outreach

As part of FIRST, we're inspired by the core values of Gracious ProfessionalismTM and CoopertitionTM, and strive to make a positive contribution to our local community. We are involved in a variety of community service opportunities, such as mentorship of fledgling robotics teams at the elementary and middle school levels, educational outreach programs promoting STEM, as well as service to local organizations.
