Founded in 1989, FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a global nonprofit organization offering team-based robotics programs to inspire the next generation of STEM learners. Locally based robotics team, Razzle Dazzle, will be on hand to showcase its work and discuss what FIRST has to offer. They’ll talk Java block-structured programming, an accessible entry point to robotics, alongside their experience at events like the FIRST Robotics Competition.
