Encourage the federal funding of FIRST robotics programs in every school in the United States.
FIRST (For Inspiration & Recognition of Science & Technology) inspires students to develop an interest in science, technology, engineering & mathematics careers. Students, ages 6-18, compete with robots of their own creation. FIRST generates excitement for learning while giving students real-life skills such as leadership, communication & gracious professionalism which allow U.S. students to compete in the global market. Many of the teams & schools who would benefit the most from FIRST struggle for funding. FIRST has a proven track record & produces measurable results; to date, more than 300,000 students are involved. We feel that the opportunities FIRST provides should be available for every child in the nation. See www.usfirst.org.
