MISSION STATEMENT

1. To inspire young people to be leaders in science and technology directly or indirectly by engaging them in exciting, mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills and understanding, and that inspire innovation.
2. To create a meaningful, science/technology-based experience for young people, not a “win at all costs” victorious season.  Integral to this is students performing the work of FIRST projects to the greatest extent feasible under the supervision/guidance of mentors.
3. To not limit the experience strictly to direct robot-centered activities, such as design, fabrication, assembly and programming, but also to include other aspects of the FIRST program: 3D animation, website design and maintenance, printing and video communication, public relations events, project management, leadership, fundraising and the practice of gracious professionalism.
​4. To develop partnerships with corporations that go beyond donations and sourcing mentors to include internships for team members and employment opportunities in the future.
5. To engage student members in community service projects to develop their service-mindedness and to reciprocate for the value they have received from sponsors and mentors.
​6. To build awareness of FIRST, its merits and its value to US industry.
