FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) develops hands-on programs to inspire our next generation of scientists, engineers, and technicians, by exposing them to the excitement of science and engineering to prepare them for the advanced workplace of tomorrow. Our programs are successful because of the support of volunteers and sponsors from the Washington DC metropolitan area community. FIRST robotics teams in the District of Columbia participate in all four programs.
