About
The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) directly served approximately 95,000 high school students on 3,802 teams. Working with mentors, each team builds a robot in six weeks from a kit of common parts, designing it to meet this year's game challenge, "DESTINATION: DEEP SPACE." Each team participated in one or more 2 to 3-day events at 173 locations, competing for awards for game scores, safety practices, teamwork and other qualitative achievements, stressing the values of cooperation and inclusion. Award winning teams participated in an annual Championship event in either Houston, TX or Detroit, MI. The FRC Program provided students with the experience of applying science and technology to achieve a specific challenge under a time constraint. (Narrative continued on Schedule O, pg. 174). This experience developed students' technical skills, teamwork and the ability to deal with the satisfactions and disappointments of a real engineering project. Participation in FRC has inspired many students to go on to college, pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. Many FRC coaches and mentors work in these fields and help the students develop bonds within their communities and connections to the workforce development pipeline. Students in the FRC program are eligible for college scholarships through the FIRST Scholarship Program.
