A K-12 STEM Program in Alaska
Every year, Alaskan youth join FIRST® LEGO League, FIRST® Tech Challenge, and FIRST® Robotics Competition teams to work together to build and program robots and to find solutions for the problems their teams face. For students aged 6-18, FIRST is the hardest fun you’ll ever have. For team mentors, coaches, and volunteers, it’s the most rewarding adventure you’ll ever undertake. For sponsors, it’s the most enlightened investment you could ever make. The annual programs culminate in robotics competitions where teams win recognition, gain self confidence, develop people and life skills, make new friends, and perhaps discover an unforeseen career path.
