​

FIRST is a foundation founded in 1989 by DEAN KAMEN. He started his non-profit work to increase young people's interest in science and technology and to motivate them to pursue educational career opportunities. It is FIRST's primary goal that young people become leaders in science. Thanks to the races it organizes, besides developing students in the field of robotics, it is to increase their self-confidence and make them conscious individuals. FIRST is friendship, knowing how to have fun, being able to research and not giving up. Because it is more than the robot that makes FIRST.   _cc781905-bb319f-cc781905-bbcdef58-3194-39 136bad5cf58d_ 

 

Another thing FIRST values is responsive professionalism. Responsive professionalism; It is a way of encouraging high-quality work, emphasizing the value of others, and respecting individuals and society. There is always competition between people who want to be professionals in their jobs, but sensitive professionals do not forget to be a family, help each other and most importantly have fun in the face of this competition. They also know how to cooperate with other teams and help them. If your goal of joining the FIRST family is to win, you will be the loser. 

​

Students try to find sponsors, build a team, develop teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a tough field game against like-minded opponents under strict rules, limited time and resources.
