The FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) program develops an annual robotics game. Teams have six weeks to design and build a robot to compete in regional competitions and possibly qualify for a national championship in St. Louis.
The goal of the FIRST program is to increase interest in science, technology, engineering and math and to give students a foundation in these fields. The FIRST robotics program is now a sport endorsed by the Minnesota State High School League.
Our 2013-14 season is just starting. The challenge is not released until January, but our preseason time is busy. We recruit sponsors, work on practice projects and prepare for the intense six week build season.
Come join our team! We look forward to hearing from you.
