ViriginiaFIRST events are a unique opportunity to see hundreds of student’s leverage math, science, marketing, and ingenuity in a team environment in which the students build robotic solutions to complex problems. Students’ ages 4-18 yrs participate in four age appropriate programs which challenge each student to conduct research, collaborate with mentors, and finally build and program the robot to complete various task.
This program changes live, encourage students to pursue college, and ultimately changes student’s impression on selecting math, science, and engineering as possible careers. Unlike sporting events, FIRST encourages each student to demonstrate gracious professional throughout the program by sharing information, tools, and ideas to ensure each team develops a operational robot throughout the competition.
Come join us for an action packed fun events where students challenge their minds to develop innovative solutions!
