What Is FIRST?

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a worldwide robotics organization that focus on making STEM education accessible to students globally. Their programs include FLL, FTC, and FRC.

  • FLL

    FLL (FIRST LEGO League) is a program for students in Pre-K to the 8th grade. There are three different levels of FLL; Discover, Explore, and Challenge. These leagues vary by grade and skill level. Learn more on FIRST’s website.

  • FTC

    FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) is a program for students in 7th to 12th grade. Our team participates in this league. FTC is more advanced than FLL, with students being able to work in real workshops and use programing languages like Java. Learn more on FIRST’s website.

  • FRC

    FRC (FIRST Robotics Challenge) is a program for students in 9th to 12th grade. FRC is similar to FTC, but on a larger scale. Learn more on FIRST’s website.
