FIRST Utah
For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology
FLL
FIRST LEGO League introduces science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to children in grades 2nd-8th. FIRST LEGO League participants gain real-world problem-solving experiences through a guided, global robotics program, helping today’s students and teachers build a better future together. In FIRST LEGO League, students engage in hands-on STEM experiences, building confidence, growing their knowledge and developing habits of learning.
FTC
FIRST Tech Challenge teams (up to 15 team members, grades 7-12) are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format. Guided by adult coaches and mentors, students develop STEM skills and practice engineering principles, while realizing the value of hard work, innovation, and working as a team.
IT’s more than just robots, with a reusable robot kit used year to year to build a unique robot every year that can be coded using a variety of levels of Java-based programming. Teams not only design and build robots, they also raise funds, design and market their team brand, and do community outreach to earn specific awards.
FRC
FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”
Under strict rules, limited time and resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with an exciting FIRST Championship..
Volunteers make the FIRST world go ‘round
