Discovering
the genius in every kid!
We are the Maryland branch of FIRST, a
non-profit organization founded by inventor Dean Kamen.
FIRST uses robotics and exciting sports-like
competitions to help students develop the skills needed
to compete in the technology-driven global economy.
Maryland has more than 100 teams in all four
programs of FIRST, from 1st grade through 12th, ages 6-18.
FIRST programs use robotics as the vehicle to engage
teams of students in the hands-on, minds-on creative
process of technological innovation.
But there's much more to FIRST than the robots.
FIRST
cultivates skills in communication, marketing, program
management, fundraising, team building, leadership and
more. FIRST celebrates young men and women working smart
in science and technology, and paves the way for future
academic and career success.
Maryland FIRST relies on sponsors and hundreds of
educators, mentors and volunteers to deliver programs
throughout the state. Learn how you can become part of
the FIRST experience. |
